That is what I asked MD, but she said that having it contaminated with hay wouldn’t give a very accurate reading. I was thinking less litter but I use wsp and they just turn to sawdust so it would automatically absorb it. Thought about lining the box with a tarp or something but didn’t think AL would use the box then. My other option is to take him next week and drop him off in the morning, leave him there all day, and then hope they can get something in that time. This is less than ideal. Though my vet is rabbit savvy, the facility isn’t the best for rabbits as they don’t have a separate room for rabbits. I would hate to stress AL out if he was around cats/dogs all day or other loud sounds. They also don’t board rabbits since they don’t have the proper space. I love my vet but wonder if there is a better facility somewhere else? The other rabbit vet in my area (within an hour drive time) is booked months in advance.

He wouldn’t use a box with a grate, but he might use a box with a screen….He is so picky! Maybe I’ll also put a tarp down over his regular flooring (carpet and a sheet) so that if he won’t use the box he won’t soil the sheet/carpet.

WOOHOO! I got a urine sample by accident! All of a sudden I thought I heard a race horse peeing. ha! I guess I filled AL’s box too high and he was peeing over the side. I rushed to try to sop it up when I realized that the sheet wasn’t absorbing so I raced upstairs into my purse and grabbed the pipette and test tube, raced back downstairs and thank God there was still a puddle! I sucked it up with the pipette, emptied into the test tube and lo and behold URINE SAMPLE! LOL! Still can’t believe it happened but I’ll take it!

I will! I’ll drop it off bright and early Monday morning.
