  Hi guys!!
  
  I’m wanting to get my bunny a new litterbox, I normally would just buy a cat one but I was watching cinnabun on youtube and they have a bumbox. I thought this might be a little too small but I wanted to get a second opinion or some better options before I bought a new one. I would appreciate any advice!
  
  This is the link for the bumbox if you wanted to see what it looked like

  I don’t know what specifically a bumbox is, but yes, that is small. Rather than basing purchases off what YouTubers have, consider what would be best for your rabbit. It sounds like you understand that more space is needed, so go with that. That box is definitely too small.
  
  There is some good information here: https://wabbitwiki.com/wiki/Litter_training#Litter_boxes

  I agree, that box looks too small.

  Unless your rabbit is a larger breed, the best litterboxes for rabbits have an entry cutout, such as this one sold in the BinkyBunny store:
  Litter Box – EASY ENTRY (2 Sizes)
  
  Although we don’t have this particular brand of litterbox, we have two that are virtually idential in design, which were previously sold by Purina for small dogs under the “Second Nature” brand (to the best of my knowledge these are no longer sold, perhaps because using a litterbox is not second nature for dogs!).
  
  If you have a larger breed such as a Flemish giant, checkered giant, or French lop, the best litterbox is definitely a large, low underbed storage container.

  Personally, I avoid cat-style litterboxes for rabbits when possible: I know that leaping hurdles is easier for them than it is for us, but I’d hate to do it when I have to go!
