        Hello everyone. I have not gotten my rabbit yet, and I am looking for a litter box. I always see rabbits kicking hay and poop out of their litter boxes, I am okay with putting up with all of that. I’m just curious if any of you had any good experiences with covered cat litter boxes with rabbits, I’m willing to take my chances if it’s good. Thank you in advance for any responses!

          Wick’s do a fairly good job containing the mess: http://www.instagram.com/p/BXsXo28FTcG/

          It’s a high wall ferret box that I added a see through panel to the low side.

            You can also buy screens for bunny litter boxes. I don’t have one or a cat litter box. But I do clean a lot of mess!

              Not all rabbits will dig in their litter boxes, and there are ones that have higher sides for rabbits that do dig. I think that some or many rabbits may be afraid of covered litter boxes, since rabbits don’t like to go into places with only one exit.

                Wick has a good setup. With scissors, cut two lines parallel toward the base but stop a few inches from the bottom, spaced wide enough to let the rabbit through, then bend the piece between those lines out and cut along the base, leaving you with an elevated U shaped cut-out. This will stop most of the flying litter, but to protect your floor lay down a towel folded over once underneath the box, making sure it protrudes far beyond it.

                I agree with  tobyluv

                At a later date, you could build something like this hay stack/ litter tray I built for Autumn if it’s not too much trouble. All this really is is T and G cladding cut to size and nailed together. You could use any timer planks but avoid toxic woods such as oak, softwood is safe. Don’t need a base as the storage box takes care of that. one nail was put in the back of the square lid on the chimney to make it swivel to load hay
