        Hello! I need advice from the experts. My five-year-old rabbit has suddenly started kicking all her litter out of her pan. It is driving me absolutely insane. It makes a disgusting mess. At first I thought she didn’t like the litter I’d been using (Yesterday’s News), but switching to CareFresh made no difference. 

        She has a ton of toys, although she doesn’t play with them that much, and lots of cardboard for digging at and chewing. I think it’s that she’s bored and wants to dig, maybe, but I can’t seem to distract her with anything else.  

        I’m considering building a sort of barrier at the end of the litter box using cardboard, but I’m afraid that if she has to jump into the litter box from the side, she’ll just start peeing in the other corner of her area. I definitely don’t want to turn her off the litter box altogether. 

        Has anyone had this happen before? Did you find a way to discourage it?

          Have you thought about litter box screens?

             Ordered! Thanks for the suggestion.  

            I’m a little worried that she won’t like standing on it – she’s really picky about her feet. But it is worth a shot, and maybe if I add litter on the top (for her to kick out) she won’t even notice.

              Most people put a layer of hay on top of the screen (or the litter for that matter) to encourage good litter usage habits. If you put hay on top of the screen her feet should not be an issue.

                I was about to type the exact same thing as Grey Dove.

                  Awesome, thanks all. She’s going to be very mad at me for ruining her digging box, but I’m sure she’ll find some furniture to take it out on.
