  Hi yall !
  
  I have a 7 mo old and 3 week since neutering male bunny. He has a nasty habit of kicking out his litter from the back corner of his box to the front of his ex-pen.
  
  He doesn’t really seem to care if the litter is clean or dirty (I cleaned it last night and woke up this morning to all the litter kicked out), and I dont know what I can do to stop it?
  
  I wonder if it’s because of his hormones from the neutering because he didn’t do that before.
  
  Are there different litter options I could try? I’m really tired of cleaning up the kicked out litter every day.

  You can try putting in less litter and/or get a box with higher sides. Rabbits naturally dig and kick “dirt”, so it may stop as time passes, but it may not. You could also try a litterscreen, like one made from plastic knitting mesh, so there is no access to the litter itself.

  Sometimes bunnies seem to just decide that digging in the litter box is the most fun thing ever. I use a litter box screen like Wick mentioned and it works great.
