Is it easy to train a rabbit to use a litter box?

Answer #1

My boyfriend’s sister trained her rabbit to use the bathroom in only the corner of her cage. Not sure how though…

Answer #2

If your thinking about doing it, dont get one with a door or a top, just the bottom part. Fill it with cat litter and put it in the corner of her cage. I didnt have to train mine, he just figured it out and used it on his own. So yes, its pretty easy.

Answer #3

A co-worker of mine has a rabbit that understands simple commands and human concepts. I think you could easily box train a rabbit. Train it like you would a kitten. Watch it closely, whenever it produces waste, briskly pick it up and put it in the litter box, along with it’s pile, or the rag that soaked up it’s puddle. Leave them there so they figure it out. It may take several repetitions, but the animal will eventually learn the smell and location of the facility where its waste belongs, and leave it there obediently. Think of Pavlov’s dogs :D

Answer #4

The Russian man Pavlov trained some dogs to salivate at the sound of a bell with simple association.

Answer #5

You might be able to look up a YouTube video on it, I’m sure there would be helpful videos.

Answer #6

Answer #7

Answer #8

Answer #9
