how oftem does my rabbit room need cleaning?

[ivybunny]

how often does my rabbit hutch, and room need cleaning also when does her water need changing?…

[Mimsy]

I change water daily. Though she mostly drinks from the dogs water, which is changed several times daily due to dog slime.

I clean her pen out as needed. Daily picking up/vacuuming. Complete clean out when needed-she is potty trained so maybe once a week to two weeks. Litter boxes-depends on the boxes, the large one with her pen every 4 to 5 days. I have some smaller ones around the house and the one in the kitchen gets used often so every other day on it.

Okay I am already doing some spot cleaning so I think once a week with a proper clean out will be enough

I wipe down and vacuum mine weekly. I’m trying to build up a supply of throw rugs so I can switch them out and wash them. They are so tightly woven it takes hours to dry. I change water and litter box every morning.

Okay thank you I thought the litter box needed changing for often

[BB & Tiny]

Some people use theirs for a couple of days. Admittedly there are still wood pellets intact when I change mine. I wonder how one can objectively tell which pile of poop is which day, to monitor their health, with days and days of it in the box ! It’s just easier for me to monitor if it’s new each day That and I’m a little OCD about them sitting in a dirty box with the fact they eat their hay in there.

Every time I change her litterbox which is about every 4 days I sweep her area. My buns cage is in the living room so it’s not that hard to keep it clean.

I change my litter boxes every evening. I have 2 bunnies per box. If I had 1 bunny per box, it would be fine. 2 per box – that’s a lot of pee. I need to start adding more wood pellets to absorb the urine. Twice a day would be more ideal at the moment.
I pick up Guin’s stray poops twice a day, pick up loose straw every day, and wash all the blankets/bedding once a month. When Guin goes on protest and pees on the fleece, I wash the bedding every week. I vacuum once a week. With 4 bunnies in the room, I clean as is needed.

Okay thank you

Every week I vacuum and every 5 days I replace his litter. Then I wash the bottom of the cage and replace the bedding while I’m vacuuming. Water is cleaned daily. It really depends on how messy your bunny is – when you can tell it’s getting pretty messy like stray pellets or stray hay it’s probably time to vacuum.

Thank you, she’s quiet tidy so I think that would be enough
