I am getting a rabbit soon so I am loading myself with knowledge
This channel and Lennon the bunny are really good for learning about rabbits
Any updates?
Same
sameee
Lol same😂😂
My rabbit poos everywhere BUT the litter box. Instead he sleeps in it
Same! Idk how to make him use the bathroom in it not sleep in it
You should keep putting the poop in the litter box so that he sees that there's poop in there and he will eventually realize that that's where he goes to the bathrooms
Adrian Akabane same
@Fakiha Tariq oh then I don't know what you should do sorry
Fakiha Tariq I have that same problem! I think it’s because my rabbit isn’t fixed/spayed/neutered. She’s 2 years old and pees amazingly in her litter box, but when it comes to poop, she only poops in her litter box when she’s conveniently in it. I’ve searched all over the internet and I guess I need her fixed, but my family thinks it’s stupid to get her fixed. :(
"Keep your cage small"
**proceeds to show us a rabbit mansion**
frr
I’m pretty sure she’s using the bare minimum cage size
AHAHAHAH
Rabbits need space to run and hop. If you don't wanna give them that space, don't get a rabbit
My 2 year old Dutch is mostly litter trained, but sometimes pees on my bed...I've even caught her once or twice get into position and she immediately jumps down and gets in her litter box...guilty little stinker...
Lily Pie Lennon the bunny has a video on how to stop that
Aww adorable lol
Probably she hate you 😂
Lol
The smell of rabbit piss is the best to wake you up and start a wonderful day!😁
I literally did this for one day but I cleaned my new bunny’s pen every ten minutes and he has been using his litter box really well and I don’t even have him neutered!
2 days ago, I adopted a rabbit from my local humane society. At the humane society she was in a small pet store cage. She could barely move and when she pooped or peed she’d have to sit in in. I took her in a 2x5 c+c cage so that she could litter trained. She immediately went to the litter box and hasn’t had any accidents. Now that she has more space she keeps everything so tidy. Once she is done with her toys she piles them up in the corner ❤️ I think today I might introduce her to free roaming today and keep the cage on standby just in case she wasn’t as litter trained as I thought.
Thank you, your videos are amazing! Your the reason my rabbit will live an amazing life.
I hope your adopted bun is doing amazingly 🤍
Hi so I will adopt a bunny in about 2 days but only one because of some personal reasons and I wanted to ask u if u have one bunny only if he/she was happy with your attention only?
@@anabaiao1585 it depends on the bunnies history and how well they're socialized, my boy Haku is perfectly fine being a solo pet until he is fixed, which is something I'm saving up. but others if trained properly, can be bonded together, we have two boys who aren't even fixed, but do well together, that's mostly because they're brothers raised in a single litter so they already know each other and grew up together with their mom from day one.
why am I watching this, I don't even have a rabbit?? I have an iguana...
@Ikik Paki was that necssasery igunas are great pets though i do have 5 rabbits
@Ikik Paki well i respect your thoughts but please keep them to your self
Um
Ikik Paki What a shitty and stupid comment to read
Iguanas are so CUTE omgg
I have an incredibly stubborn girl. She poops and pees wherever she likes so I kinda just got used to cleaning my floors everyday at least twice a day for a year but I am definitely gonna try to litter train again. Fingers crossed she actually wants to learn this time
+Valeria Robles is your bunny spayed?
Yeah she got spayed as soon as we got her but she is still pretty feisty so it might just be her bossy personality haha
Cherry Pie same but my bunny is still 2 months old I don't think I can spay her yet
Valeria I have the same problem with my two bunnies
I can deal with poops here and there, rabbit pees are most smelly part. You definitely need to watch her closely to pee into her litter box
"Some don't wish to be litter trained"
-Steve Irwin
My bun was littler trained, but let out little poops when she hoped around. 😞😟 Drove me nuts but who could be mad at a cute bunny!
Awww how cute, and it's fine just pick it up and put it in the litter box.
While I was reading this my baby chicken/chick pooped on me
I'd be happy with the random poops but no, my little sh** pees everywhere in her room! confining her space currently... the boy however pees in the tray, poops everywhere and kicks out the hay and pellets tho FML hahaha
"keep floors bare until litter trained" meanwhile my entire apartment has carpeted floors, so I have to use two large bath sheets to protect the carpet within my bunny's x-pen lol
Excellent idea!!
My male lop is not not neutered and he has been litter trained for two year and never has an accident. I don't think you NEED to spay or neuter but it depends on the rabbit. I'm not trying to sound mean or anything, this is just my opinion.🐰❤️
jaycee koo my strange bunny goes to the loo....every single time.
Happens with the second one we bought (to bond) too!
A friend visited got inspired n got herself one....never got litter trained. She gave it away.
My two buns r very special indeed - im lucky!
If they are by themselves it really helps as they aren't as territorial and might not be nessecary
I have a holland lop and he hasn't been neutered but he is litter trained
@@henrietta9206 That's the shit that pisses me off, people who IMPULSE buy, you should've told her off when she did that, that's why their are so many poor bunnies in shelters.
@@henrietta9206 I had adopted my girl litter trained but if she wasn't I would've spent the time and patience training her especially as she had just gotten spayed, I didn't impulse adopt her, and I've loved her ever since. 😍
amazing tips!
my bunny is already litter trained and I remember doing these things ( putting the poop in the box, placing hay inside it, etc )
My bunny was litter trained before being spayed and she’s actually doing great with it this video was very informational thank you!
Thank you for the clear instructions! One our friend recommended me your video, as we just met withour baby bunny. It's way very useful and we'll need to train our bunny to go where she needs to. I'm new here, sending you much love and hugs.
Thank you for everything you do on your channel you have been soooooooo helpful seeing as I am thoroughly considering getting a lop ear rabbit of my own. Keep up the good work
-Em
The way you kissed Sterling at the end when he climbed onto your lap melted my heart.. that’s soo cute😌😃🥰
fantastic video, we watched sooooo many bad ones before we found yours, we almost gave up - glad we didn't! You speak very well and clearly - so amazing!
love your videos, haley! they're super helpful, and you're adorable.
I have two rabbits, one is a small female and is very clean and never pees or poops out of the box, the other is a large dutch and pees and poops everywhere, he pees right next to the boxes, in tunnels around the edges of the room we have them in. They are both free range buns and have access to a medium sized lounge room and out onto a terrace during warmer days. I know I'm going to have to shut him in a smaller space to re-train him, but should I put them both in? Any advice for this? They are bonded but have disagreements every now and then, and yeah he gets mad and randomly pees haha. I feel like all I do is clean up his pee 😩
I recommend Lennon The Bunny watch her
I think you should but both
Im dying😂💀
My newest baby will pee in his litter box every time. But we are still working on the pewps.
Same😭
sanchashi 3 years later and same too haha!
Yes! Same promblem
Nice video ❤️ We use Vitakraft paper instead of wood stove pellets
Great video and great tips because I recently got my rabbits a few months ago and they aren't litter trained yet but I'm working on it and hopefully ur tips are helpful😊ILYSM
My bunny is litter trained and she isn't spayed and she only uses her litter box to go pee and poop. ( Sometimes there are occasional poops everywhere but never pee )
Thanks for the tips! Gonna try this x
I like that set up with the hey dispenser box
This helped so much thanks!
This really helped I have 14 rabbits and it’s just hard to clean them so I really hope it works
Awesome vid !!!!!! I just subscribed! I just got my bunny 2 weeks ago and i triec so many other ways but this was the only one that worked:)
This makes me more confident just became a new bunny mom on my birthday 8/18 so thank you
I've only had my rabbit for 1 week and she only peed outside her litter box once! She's been a breeze and I'm so thankful.
I've just got my rabbits and they are exploring now 😊
How are they now?
Thank you so much! That will help🤍🌸
I love it you are the best bunny things ever you helped me so much with my bunny thanks ❤️❤️ love you Love Kalie
This was very helpful
Thank you! Just subscribed!
very informative thank you
Thxs this helped so much
CAN YOU PLEASE DO A VIDEO ABOUT THE RABBIT ILLNESS SNUFFLES. I plan on doing my own video about it soon on my channel as that my rabbit has It and ive done a good amount of research for it but youre always so helpful and informative that I really want to see your take on the sickness, give pets to mocha, lulu, ebony, and sterling for me!
Yes I need this
Thank you, I might get a rabbit soon and this really helped
I just found out I’m getting him today!
Claire Ailabouni how is he like?
Thanks,going to try now.
I need some help my rabbit Cinnamon does not go in the liter box. I mean he pees in the liter box but poops all over and I need help by wondering will fixing him make it better?
Yeah putting up a gate really works! Same with the poop. I just set it there, and hopefully get a chance to grab them before they poop on my carpet. Then I put them in the litter box, and my bunny’s got it pretty quickly :)
I am getting a rabbit tomorrow. So thanks for the video
My rabbit took a year to litter box train, he pooped in a drawer for a few months 😂
I adopted two buns and their litter box habits are excellent.
I am fostering two other rabbits right now in a separate part of the house and their litter box habits are atrocious. This video hopefully will help! Thank you
I'm possibly about to buy an "angora" rabbit, how hard are they to train compared to other rabbits?
My oldest bunny Thumper came to my home already litter trained which was awesome! And my 5 month old bunny Little Peanut was 5 weeks old when I got her and I just put the litter box in her cage and she trained herself. Once she realized “oh this is where the squishy stuff is!” she started peeing and pooping in there 😊
I know you from tiktokkkkkk
Hi Haley, thanks for all your amazing videos! I am getting two bunnies that are 2 months old and they can't be spayed for a while. What do I do about them going to the bathroom? Do I put newspaper down in their pen and only let them run around the house once they are old enough?
This should help me a lot bc I have no clue how to litter train a bunny or take care of one properly but, how did I end up with two little bunny I do not know but I’m so happy I did☺️❤️🐰👍🏽
Best litter box training vid yet lol I'm trying to get my bunny from pooping everywhere.
literally the best video about training bunny"s !!!
thank you so much
Hi Haley, you have a nice, beautiful voice. Thanks for the bunny litter training tips. Comment left May 30, 2020. Hope you are well.
Thank you
great video. So I have some rabbit Pellets for the rabbits to eat. Where do they go? In the litter tray as well? Thanks
thank you so much for your videos! im a new bun owner so these are so helpful!!
Just got my Holland lop this past Sunday and he is only 10 weeks old and is sooo good with his litter already it’s crazy, only peed on his fleece bedding once and since then he only pees in the litter box, he mostly poops in the litter with a few little ones outside 🤍🐰
Thank you. Is it ok to begin training with 2 rabbits in the same cage? Or is it best to be trained individually?
Hello. Thx for this video. my buns are 7 weeks old.
Hope there still doing great :)
Thank you so much for your videos they are very helpful! I do have two question for you if i may, how do i get rid of my rabbit's hair knots. I try to brush him but time doesnt permit it too often and i find a lot of knots on him mostly around the butt or stomach area. Also he tents to sometimes lay on his pee, he is white and he gets stained yellow how can i get rid of that? I have tried safe wipes, and corn starch but nothing... what could i do?
where can I get that xpen? thanks hailey I love your videos
Thanks dear
Wow it’s helpful
Question about litter, is the pellet pine litter (like feline pine) ok to use? I've been seeing some conflicting information about it; like the litter being safe, but don't use pine bedding for bunnies. Thanks!
How can you litter train them when they are only eating pellets right now and i have a carpet floor so I have to use a sheet and I’m using a yoga pad underneath it for their feet’s ??
I soon will take my rabbit to get fixed soon and I'm starting to litter box train her and she, for the most part, tends to pee and poo in her liter box.
My set up is a have a master bedroom and the bathroom is connected to my room. My closet is in the bathroom and her literbox and hidy house is in the closet. I sleep on the floor on a soft pad because it's better for my back. The issue is she climbs on my bed and my couch and she poops on them so much! Sometimes pees on my blankets and I noticed she has such sass about it. So now I'm making sure she knows who top bun is (me) by putting her in a short three minute time out if she poops on my bed or couch, I enclose her in her pen/closet with a gate.
It's kinda hard because I want her to get enough exercise so that's why I let her run in my room.
When I'm asleep and at work I keep her in the bathroom so she's not peeing on carpet. She does soooo well to not pee or poop outside her liter box when she is in the bathroom.
I'll see if it works, I'm being really anal about it so she understands that it's not ok to poop on my things.
She's so sneaky and territorial it's hard to keep my eyes on her the entire time, because it's as if she knows as soon as I look away for a minute she poops. What a little turd butt! Gotta love her though. ❤️
thank you so mutch
My holland lop will mark every now and then still even though he has been neutered 2 yrs now. He's my only bun ( out of 4) that does this. Just little pee dribbles in his favourite lounging spots in my house. I just clean it with vinegar water. Don't think he will ever outgrow that though. He's pretty territorial and leaves coco puffs and chins everything in sight too.
The two-story cage that you showed is what I want to build
What do you use that’s protecting the hardwood floor??
Thanks for the tips. I am trying to retrain my bunny as I am downsizing her area when we move (she is free roam most day but is penned at night/when we’re out the room for long time as she has recently started peeing on settee). I now have a corner litter box which was previously in her bigger tray and she sometimes used it. She does not seem to be taking to it and instead seems to have held in all her urine just to pee on a cushion....I have put the cushion in her litter tray to try encourage her but do you think maybe the size is an issue and she would prefer a longer box? (Like a cat litter tray size or something)
Where did you get your enclosure?! I spent over an hour today trying to find something similar to no avail. Also, what do you suggest for a bunny who, when in his cage, will use the litter box, but once we open the cage into his enclosure, he immediately starts pooping on the floor? That aside, we don't have hardwood floors, so its a bit more difficult to clean =\
My Rabbit ALWAYS pees in his litter box and most often than not he poops in there too. He is fixed but recently he has been doing some poops outside of his litter box. What can i do?
I’m having the same problem right now, did you find out how to solve the problem?
Zak Merali give him incentives or put treats in the litter box
i have unspayed and unneutered rabbits and both are doing well
Ur the best!!!
For the litter can you use bedding?
I have a large rabbit and I use a hi corner litter box the one that looks like a triangle but it’s a extra large one and he uses it
I have always wondered this when you have a paper towel and you put it in the litter box will they chew it and then have a bad stomachache?
yea I can't do the papertowel thing, coz my girl will eat it....
I love your rabbits
I’m a new bunny mom 😊❤️ . He’s a 9 weeks old lionhead. He has already familiarized himself with and uses the litter box which is setup with hay piled high in one half and litter in the other half because I heard that bunnies tend to poop while they eat. The problem is he eats his pellets from his dish that is outside of the litter box and poops everywhere. To me it’s easy to clean up but at what age and how did you train your bunny to only poop in the litter box? Thanks for the great video & tips! Very helpful!
I have a 7 week old lionhead/Holland lop! How’s taming going?
What’s the recommended size cage ?
where did u make your intro?great video
Would you please link where you purchased that litter box? I can't find it in Amazon
So, I have a cl dog crate for my bunny and the litter box with everything. I know I should keep it inside until he’s litter trained but should I take him out for a couple of hours a day to stretch? Or wait till he’s trained.
When can you start training them? My bunny is 8 weeks old and seems too young but is it okay to go ahead?
I bought my rabbits two weeks ago, had them enclosed in a 4 x 4 feet space so I can potty train them. Three days later I gave them 10 x 7 feet of space . They pee in there tray, but they still poop outside the tray. They were born in July, females, not spayed yet.
Any recommendations or tips to stop the poop would be highly appreciated
I used to have a lion head but I was young and I could not handle it and gave him away
but I plan on getting one when I’m ready
Is there a measure for the vinagre and water mix? or is 50/50 ok?
Hey my rabbits r outdoor rabbits in a large pen so for cleaning up pee I can't really clean it up and the stuff I have down it is hard to clean up the poo as well what should I do ?? Also how much would it be to nurture and spay rabbit.
Hi and thanks for a useful video. I like the idea of hay above the rabbit rather than in its litter box as I don't like the idea of his food mixing with his poo. Please can you clarify that hay is not necessary IN the litter box if it's above it?
For small breeds like mini lops or Netherland dwarf should the litter box be smaller? Just wondering if the sides will be too high for them to get in.
Do you need one litter box per rabbit or can they share? If you have two dwarf rabbits can they share one large box?
What's your take on covered boxes that have an entrance? Some people have suggested that rabbits feel safer in such boxes, and of course it's a cleaner option since the poo is not exposed and the smell is contained.
Last but not least, if you put the litter box in a particular corner during training, can you move it afterward? Or will they associate litter with the corner rather than the box? We are planning to set up the pen in the kitchen initially as we have the most space there, but our long-term aim is free roaming bunnies who simply hop to the litter whenever needed. We don't want the litter boxes permanently in the kitchen. Once the bunnies are trained we'd like to move the boxes to the laundry room, out of the way of the rest of the house. The laundry room is attached to the kitchen and we'll leave the door open so the bunnies can access 24/7 but at least the box will be out of our daily sight. Is that doable?
After they learn to use the little box, then I move it somewhere else, will they still using it?
I adopted two bunnies from a family who got a dog two years ago. I tried everything under the sun to get them litter trained. They do use the litter box but at the same time they do their business all over their territory, they don't just have one preferred spot. Another problem is that they don't want to hop on any slippery surface. So I have to use mats to make them move around. Honestly, I'm at my wit's end. I had bunnies before, my mum has - they were/are all "clean" and use only the litter box. I'd be really happy for some advice.
Hey I have a Bunny that’s about 7-8 weeks old, I was wondering when is the right time to try and start trying to little box train them?
how would you do this with carpet? I had recently gotten a lionhead who's about 9 weeks old. currently she's not spayed and she still poops everywhere when she gets jumpy or excited.
Do you have a video about helping bunnies lose weight? I adopted a my bunny about 8 months ago, and he doesn't really run around much even though he has a while room. He has the company of two cats and I spend a lot of the with him. I don't feed a lot of sugar/pellets but he still hasn't lost much weight. Any tips?
Rabbits are most active at dawn and dusk. They sleep most of the day. If your rabbit room has wood floors buy a large rug or two, slippery floors deter rabbits from moving the way they should due to the lack of grip with their pad-less paws. Make sure he has lots of toys. Cat tunnels, plastic baby keys, cardboard boxes, hay mats, and more. Bunnies love exploring so be sure to switch up toys and where the boxes/hide outs are placed.
Single rabbits tend to be lonely and get bored easily. Rabbits are very social animals and nothing can compare to a rabbit partner. They are awake at the same times of day, speak the same body language, groom, cuddle, and are more confident when exploring when they have a friend. If possible it's not a bad idea to talk to your local rabbit rescue about doing a date and find your rabbit a partner to spend his days with.

I’m a new rabbit owner and this video helped out a lot :)
If I don’t have pellets and I just use hay does it work??
I just got my bunny very recently. I’m having only a slight issue with litter box training. I have a 2 by 4 c&c cage that she’s in when I’m asleep and at work otherwise she is completely free roamed. When I have the cage open and she’s out and about she will run back to her cage to potty. She doesn’t go anywhere in the house and is great about this. This is great since I’ve had her less than a week and I think she lived in a small cage before me. Her litter box is in her cage and she pees mostly in it but poops anywhere in the cage. It’s contained just to the cage but I’m not sure on how to keep it just to the litter box. She’s 4 months so I can’t spay her yet. Any ideas?
Hi,
Is 1 XL litter box ok for 2 rabbits or 1 box for each bunnie ?
