  As far as i know, you can litter train your bunny by just putting all of her waste into the litter box. Litter training my first bunny(a buck) went really well, he cooperate after just 2 days. There was no waste outside the litter box! Recently i bought a new doe and i’ve been trying to litter train her for about 2 weeks and she is still not cooperating. My doe have been peeing and pooing everywhere! Does anyone have any advice?

  Some rabbits are easier to train than others, some take a bit longer to get it. Is she spayed? Unspayed does can be difficult to litter train, you are doing the right thing by putting all of her waste into the litter box. What do you use outside the litter box for bedding? Is it similar to what is in the box? If so she could be getting confused. Otherwise, 2 weeks could still just be her settling in, territorial marking can happen for weeks in a new environment which could be part of it too. Keep persisting and give it more time. If she’s not spayed, it’s possible you might not have much luck.

  hi there, thanks a lot for replying to my questions. My doe is not spayed, so it may be the cause of her behavior.
