Welcome. It is a challenge to teach a baby rabbit litter training. What are you using on the ground of the cage? You don’t have some sort of bedding do you? If so, then you need to take that out and only use litter in her litter box. Also try putting a handful of hay in the litter box.

It is not a surprise either that she will use whatever corner is available to her outside the cage – that is alot of space and if she isn’t using her litter box, she still won’t outside the cage.

I think at this point you can give her unlimited pellets – she’ll only eat what she wants. At this age, they are growing so they need the extra calories. You could also start slowly introducing one green at a time. Also unlimited grass hay at all times. She needs hay like timothy or orchard.

Congrats on your new little bunny! She is pretty young so litter training may take some time but they can pick it up quickly also. Start by not giving her too much space. It’s fine to have her out for some play time but 2 rooms may be too much for her to get hang of the litter box. Do you have bedding down in her cage floor? Many have had success by keeping the floor bare and only having litter in the box. Sometimes they can’t differentiate between bedding and litter.

For one so young, you can give her unlimited pellets (alfalfa based). Alfalfa hay is good, and you can try her with some grass hay too.

Edit: whoops! Sarita and I posted same info pretty much at same time   So I’ll just direct you to further feeding and litter training tips at this site. https://www.binkybunny.com/BUNNYINFO/tabid/53/Default.aspx

Welcome and congrats on your new bunny.

The only thing I want to add-either move her litterbox or add more-to have litter boxes in ANY corner of the house she’s wee’d in. Once they pee somewhere they are very likely to wee there again. Also the more litter boxes you have the more likely she is to be ‘successful’ and you can gradually cut them out later Also they usually have a distinct ‘I’m peeing’ face and body posture-complete with staring into space and lifting the tail -once you can recognize this you can catch her in the act, scoop her up and put her in the litter box. Then praise or give a raisin  
The litter training will get much better the more successful she is (i.e. using a litter box-so have plenty out.) and as she gets older and after her spay (around six months). Then she will be fully grown and not hormonal (i.e. without a need to purposely mark territory).

You are correct about the pine bedding, you don’t want to use that. The Kaytee should be fine and I would just use that for the litter box – no bedding needed.

Have you read the House Rabbit Society website? It is http://www.rabbit.org.

Also at the top of the page there are links under Bunny Info – there is a drop down box when you click on the name and I totally recommend reading that for more information as well. Good stuff there.

I agree with the others that you should take out all bedding from the cage and only put litter in the litter box and make sure there’s hay in there too (you may want to feed all of her hay in the litter box). If you have bedding throughout the rest of the cage it will confuse her and she won’t understand that pee needs to stay in the litter box. As her litter training improves, you can put down towels or fleece blankets in her cage for some bedding to sleep on if you want. For litter, what you’re using is probably ok, but most people on this site would also recommend Yesterday’s News (a recycled newspaper pellet) and wood stove pellets as litter. Wood stove pellets are extremely cheap and available now – just throwing out suggestions because I know how expensive litter can get.

According to the House Rabbit Society, she should be getting unlimited pellets as she’s still young. She has a lot of growing to do, so I wouldn’t worry about her getting fat or anything just yet. Once she’s over 8 months, you can start limiting her food to a quantity appropriate to her weight.

She also needs to have unlimited hay. Since she’s a baby, alfalfa hay is fine, but you might also want to introduce grass hays like timothy because she’ll need to eat these as an adult. Unlimited hay is the most important part of a bunny diet!

Finally, you can probably start introducing veggies soon. Some people say you can start as young as 3 months (what I did) and some wait until 6 months. It’s up to you, but just introduce one veggie at a time in very small quantities to make sure her tummy can handle it and she should be ok.

Sarita already gave you the links that should help you out with diet stuff in more detail. Good luck!

P.S. We would love to see pictures! Baby lops are my favorite 🙂

Definitely unlimited hay. She’ll need to munch on it all day long to keep her gut moving. Welcome to the forums

My fiance wants to feed it less from a recommendation from this holistic pet store by us. She told me a woman there said she used to baby sit bunnies and that we shoud only feed it once per day otherwise it would eat all day.

I would agree with that in the right context. So for adult rabbits in regards to pellets, yes they probably would eat them all day if given oodles! My own vet clinic likens pellets to a Big Mac in the human diet. But eating hay all day is a non-issue. The rabbit gut is actually designed to continually take high amounts of fibre (plant matter/chiefly hay). It’s when they get too much protein and carbs that problems arise. For young rabbits though, protein is important. So an alfalfa pellets meets some of their protein needs. If you can give one that is that is at least 20% fibre too that would be good.  Some of them are pretty dismal in regards to fibre.  You might actually find your rabbit limits her own intake with the pellets and fills up on hay. So in giving pellets free-feed for a while you may soon now how much to then put out for her gauging on what’s left over from previous free-feeds.   And you’re right, babies do eat more and metabolise it quicker so it’s in one end out the other pretty much!

You’ve gotten great advice! Welcome here!

As far as diet, you can definitely start introducing small quantities of veggies right away. Just do one at a time and watch for any adverse reactions. Eventually, she’ll be getting at least 2 cups of veggies per day. As an adult, after hay and veggies, the pellets will be a very, very tiny part of her diet, probably no more than 1/8 cup per day.

Their ears regulate their body temperature, I would not worry. My rabbits ears feel cold sometimes too.

You cannot really tell a rabbits core body temperature though by the ears, you would actually need to take a temperature with a rectal thermometer (want to get the vet to show you how to take this).
