  We got our first bunny this week (a 3 month old Mini Lop) and we are interested in training her to potty in a litter box. I would love some tips on how to do this or if someone could point me to a website where I can read about this, that would be great. She has a cage that she stays in in my boys’ room but gets to come out and play many times throughout the day and has pooped all over the living room and the kids so we’d love to get started as soon as possible in training her. Thank you for any advice.

  As she is young, it can be difficult to completely train her until she is a bit older and spayed. However, there are a few methods you can try.
  Wherever she seems to go potty the most, place the litterbox there. Place some hay into it to encourage her to hop in. Bunnies often poop where they eat so hay in the litterbox is a great way to encourage good habits. If she poops outside the box, place it inside to show her the proper place. Same with pee, if she pees outside the box, soak it up with a paper towel and place it in the box. Lastly, if you catch her going in the box, reward her. Good luck!
