I have not had any issues with using a litter screen. He uses the litter box with or without one. The screen just keeps the litter IN the box. You can buy one at the BB store. Or you can make one yourself. Some people like to use the plastic canvas for crafts.

Will that affect him being litter box trained? Where do I get a screen?
As far as my other boy he was actually out of his cage when I was cleaning it. He climbed on my back legs and bit my lower back. That was the 2nd time. Prior to that I think he wanted more treats.
Thank you all for your advice 😊

Litter box screen = miracle

I recommend using a litter box screen to help with the digging. It will help with the biting to wait to do cleaning while he isn’t in his cage. Most rabbits can be protective of their home space.

You can use kid’s sandbox sand to make a dig box. Its sold in small sacks and its been treated with heat so kids dont get bad bacteria etc on their skin. Just keep a close eye until you know your bun will not eat the sand. Some horses and rabbits will eat sand, and its very bad for them.
Your other bunny was probably upset that you were messing…[Read more]

My rabbit decided he would use his litter box as a digging box. He digs out his litter
what can I use that is safe to make his own digging box that is not in his cage. My only concern is that I’m afraid he might think the digging box out of his cage is a litter box.
any ideas/suggestions
my other bunny climbed into my lap and bit me, also w…[Read more]

BinkyBunny replied to the topic Fur loss, vet not helping! in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 2 years, 5 months ago
I had a bunny that would get dermatitis and lose fur in specific places. We weren’t sure the cause as tests didn’t reveal mites or anything. Just unrevealing irritation. Some bunnies can be allergic to different things. Some hays will have a small amount of weeds that are intermixed and that can cause allergies. (according to my rabbit savv…[Read more]

I have a couple of ideas. Clean up the pee outside of the box with a paper towel and then put part of the urine soaked paper towel IN the litterbox. This may encourage him to go in there. Also, you could make his litterbox enticing if you haven’t already. Put soft hay there and add some treats or fresh herbs like mint parsley etc. Since…[Read more]

Hi, wondering if anybody has had a similar problem/ can recommend anything?
My bunny has been losing fur for a year now, with dry flaky skin, we never see her pull out the fur, it just falls out. We think it’s cheyletiella, it begun when I purchased bedding from a different store than usual, her skin hasn’t been the same ever since. I’ve been…[Read more]

Hi!
Thank you for the replies! I’ve actually seen him squat beside it and pee, so I don’t think he’s peeing over the rim of the litterbox. Maybe I will try and put something there so that it’s not comfortable for him to pee in that spot, and he feels more encouraged to use the litterbox. If that still doesn’t work, I will try moving the litterbox…[Read more] -

I agree with Dana. This may be solved by simply rethinking how things are set up.

LBJ10 replied to the topic Rabbit is peeing out of litterbox in the forum HOUSE RABBIT Q & A 2 years, 5 months ago
Is he actually standing outside the box and peeing? The one accident we had was a bunny butt reaching too far over the edge of the box and he peed over the side.

As the others said, there are a number of things that could cause this. It could be a URI, a dental problem, a blocked tear duct, etc. Each ailment would require a different treatment. He needs to be properly diagnosed by a vet so he can have the correct treatment.
He looks like a very sweet bunny. I’m sure you have a bond with him. It would be a…[Read more]

Unfortunately, there are no at-home remedies that could be recommended since there is no way to diagnose what’s going on (and generally rabbit ailments cannot be treated w/ OTC medications). The symptoms you are seeing can have multiple causes, such as dental and bacterial– all of which require proper diagnosis to ensure the correct and safe…[Read more]

Im sorry you are going through this.
Id urge you to reach out to rescues and no-kill shelters asap, because after Easter, they’ll be at capacity due to abandonned gifted “Easter” buns.
Theres no shame in surrendering a rabbit. Rabbits are fragile and high maintenance.
Rabbits can get bacterial “colds”. The snot contains complex carbohydrates…[Read more]
