My rabbit keeps digging in the litter box. How can I stop it?

Wounded Warrior is a very cute rabbit! I am not sure if it is because of the angle of the picture, but the litter box looks like it may be a bit small for your rabbit. Ideally the box should be big enough so that two rabbits of Wounded Warrior's size could fit inside of it. That may help provide some extra weight to discourage your rabbit from trying to pick up the box, and will also give her enough space to hop into the box and turn around. Also, some brands will also have a way to secure the litter box to the side of the cage, which may also help. One thing to keep in mind is that sometimes rabbits will decide to lay/relax in their litter box - for these rabbits, we often will recommend having two available. One for bathroom use, and one for relaxation. I hope that helps, and gives you a place to start!

This is something very natural to rabbits and there is no good way to stop them from doing it unless you don’t allow them access to the vegetable garden. If they are kept outside try moving them to a different enclosure where they won’t be so tempted to dig and eat the veggies.

Determine where Fluffy is eliminating most often then place a litterbox on that spot. Place a few others in the vicinity. If she urinates or defecates outside the box, scoop up the pellets and place them in the preferred box. A tissue can be used to soak up urine which can then be placed in the preferred box as well. When she begins to use one box regularly, gradually remove the other boxes over several weeks.

Hello, sorry to hear about Bunny. some things you could consider is getting a larger litter box. Additionally, you should have the litter box in a place where its private for them so as to make them more comfortable. Finally, you should always an equal number of litter boxes as cats, and then have an extra one. You kitty may not be having enough privacy while going into the box and thus not using it adequately. If this doesn't help, you may need to try a covered litter box or even a different type of litter. Hope this helps and best of luck.

Freya may just be playing in the box. You may try making her a litter box out of a large rubbermaid container. Leave the top open and you may cut the hole a little higher than the litter line to see if this helps. Give her plenty of play time every day as well to see if that helps. Best of luck.

It sounds like your bunny is quite tidy and doesn't want to soil her cage. She will probably be easy to litter train, and then you will have somewhere in the cage for her to go. Make sure her cage is large enough that she has plenty of room to move around in, and so that her litter tray isn't near her food or water. You can use hay as a litter. To start training her, place her tray where she likes to go when she gets out of the cage. Put some of her poo and urine in the tray so that she knows that is where she needs to go. Once she is consistently using this tray, then move it into the cage. If she stops using it once in the cage, you might need to get her a bigger cage.

Hello, sorry you are having this issue. You will not be able to prevent him from digging in the litter box. The best option is to prevent him from having access to it. What most people do is put the litter box in a room and use a baby gate to block the doorway. The cat can jump in over the gate but Hercules will not be able to. You can always consult a professional trainer as they may have some training ideas but there are none that I am aware of. Honestly, it is better for the dog not to have access to the litter box for other reasons too. Cats like privacy when they use the box - the cat won't want to use the box if the puppy is bothering him. Then you will end up with him peeing/pooping around the house instead of using the box. Also, litter (if Hercules eats it) can cause a blockage in his intestines which can be deadly. Really, it is best for him not to have access to the box. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
