  My boy Leo was castrated last week and I have started litter training. The problem I’m having is he keeps moving the litter tray and peeing in the cage corner! What can I secure it with? Also what should I put on the cage floor? – blankets, fleece, newspaper, straw, puppy pads? So it is easy to tidy any accidents and teach to go in the tray. Thanks in advance

  You can drill a couple of holes and secure it to the side of the cage with something like zip-ties, but you should probably make sure it’s not the litter that’s the issue. What are you using in the box? If it’s something hard like wood stove pellets, you may want to try putting something softer like hay or something similar to Carefresh (there are a ton of brands that are basically the same thing) on top.
  
  Many people use fleece blankets on the cage floor. I occasionally throw a puppy pad under the fleece where I put my litter box just in case someone decides to stick their bum over the side of the box and pee on the floor. Pretty much anything on your list can be used if you want to, just pick what seems the most convenient for your schedule and try it out. I will say that newspaper can get messy really quickly and can end up staining their fur and make sure if you do use puppy pads they can’t get at them.

  The litter is quite hard and I have been thinking of changing to carefresh so I’ll give it a go! Do you have a grate in your litter tray?

  There are litter trays that can be secured to cages/enclosures if yours hasn’t got that feature.
  
  I’ve just ordered this one for my Thumper’s litter training. It has 4.2 out of 5 star reviews so I’m hoping Thumper will take to it when it arrives. There’s also a ‘jumbo’ size for bigger breeds.
  
  Just a side question, but for those that use blankets/towels as cage bedding with their litter trained buns, does the blanket/towel move when your bun hops around in the cage? If so, is there a way to prevent that?

  I found it best to remove all extra “bedding” from the cage when trying to litter train. Rabbits often like to pee on soft things and it confuses them during the litter training process. I would take everything up until the peeing is 100% in the box.
