I’ve read many rabbits like to sleep in their litter boxes, haha. Unfortunately, as with any pet, sometimes you can buy things for a purpose, but your pet doesn’t use it ‘right’. Wick sleeps on top of my dresser. No idea why he likes it, but once he realized he can get on it, he’ll go there to sleep.
It is important you employ litter training tactics so your rabbit knows where to go. If it’s location-based, move the litter box where the bed is, if possible. Either way, you’ll want your rabbits final destination after every accident to be that litter box.
1) Rabbit pees >> move to litter box >> praise slightly
2) Rabbit about to pee >> move to litter box >> pees in box >> praise generously with pets
3) Rabbit about to pee >> move to litter box >> rabbit jumps out and pees somewhere else >> move to litter box >> praise slightly.
… Those are the situations that you’d run into. It’s helpful for training purposes to have a sound established that spooks your rabbit, so this can be done each time there’s a pee outside the box. It can take a few seconds to relocate your rabbit to the box after an accident, so being able to do the sound right before or right after the accident works as a cue your rabbit will eventually pick up. Typically, rabbits don’t like snake hiss sounds, so Wick gets a short snake hiss when he’s about to pee somewhere outside his box. Once he hears it, he scampers to pee in the box.
Rabbits like peeing on soft things, so that will contribute to him peeing on the intended bed.
