So I had a thought the other day that it might be helpful to people who are new to house rabbits or struggling making the "right" litter box to have a picture reference of litter boxes and details to help them. It took me several months to perfect my litter box with my bun so I'm hoping this might help other people cut to the chase.

So here is my buns (primary) box in his condo:

I use compressed newspaper pellets (yesterdays news- UNSCENTED) with carefresh over top (my bun has sensitive hocks). Then I put hay in the other side. I line my boxes with newspaper for easy removal and cuz Bunjamin likes to shred the paper.

I use a litter box with a removable high side because my bun was peeing over the box:


And this is something I like to call "bunny optional":


BBers, please add pics and details about your litterboxes too. I think it'll help (you can always tell me if I'm crazy )
 

It took a while to figure out what she wanted. Untrianed and outdoor cage kept she came to me at

13 months with one litter under her belt when she was 9mo.  but she is perfectly satisfied now

and is the most consistant one of my 3.

I think it'll help (you can always tell me if I'm crazy )

I don't think you're crazy at all, though I can't speak for others... Seriously though, this is one thing that often troubles people with rabbits so I think the thread is a great idea.

I cannot count the number of litterboxes I bought over time. lol Not all were specifically made to be litter boxes either. Some of the best ones are actually storage boxes or plastic tubs.
When I had just one rabbit, I used various things as a grid over the litter. Jersey actually adapted to all the changes I made without trouble. Which is actually ironic now because she has terrible habits now but it's not related to the type of boxes I use.

I'll attach some picture of the ones I currently use later. At the moment for Jelly and TimTim, I use a deep rectangular tub lined with newspaper and hay. It has been the simplest thing and they like it. It does require daily cleaning though. I'm using regular cat boxes for the fosters with same, newspaper and hay. This however has been messy! The boys dig and tear up the paper. They poo everywhere too. I'm, positive it's due to hormones.The girls currently aren't as messy....yet. Anyway, they all pee in the box at least.

Jersey and Rumball have a couple. A deep box I use wood pellets in with a grate over top. It's a plastic grid I cut out of a bread crate. The other big box they have is actually a tiered storage rack that had missing compnonents. It has solid base and a flat grid type part that fits over the top. I line the base with a garbage bag for easy cleaning. I don't recommend that for everyone though. I wouldn't use it for any of the others either. It's just I know J&R dont and have not ever tried tear at or eat the plastic.

An older pic of that.

 Here we go! The screen is pretty much just a sheet of chicken wire bent at the corners so it forms a [ shape and supports itself above the litter...if that makes sense, haha.

haha, I have fails too. I did a big hay rack made with NIC grids and cardboard one time. Jersey, pulled all the hay out the bottom as soon as I rigged it up. And she doesn't even eat hay!

The litter box one of those storage shelf things. Similar to this. except the bottom on mine was solid.

I also use tubs I just got in a variety store.

The other ones I use is bottom part of hooded litter box with the piece of bread crate grid in it. (see below) I sometimes keep the hood on.

btw, that's Rumball in the box, in the bath tub. I carried him there in it for a fur plucking session. He was going through a huge molt.

Personally, the standard cat litterbox is absolutely unsatisfactory for me.  The walls are too low, they aren't big enough for my bun to stretch out, and they don't adequately contain the mess. My bunny is only an average sized satin (about 6-7 pounds), so if you have a bigger bun I'm sure you are silently cursing the messy situation at home from the standard cat litterbox!  In fact, I'm going to start a revolution against cat litter boxes for bunnies!

My litterbox is a rubbermaid toughneck that's about 24X16X8 with a small hole cut out on one side ($5 at home depot).  I have a small soap rack ($1)  that I hung into drilled holes so that her veggies are also off the floor.  The litterbox is next to the poster tube hay racks that some of y'all have recently seen.

This set up keeps her VERY happy.  She's got privacy and security, can turn around, lay down, and eat in her litter cage.  Most importantly it keeps her daddy happy.  If she keeps her dad happy, she'll not be grounded...buahahahaha!  semi jk

Here's my litterbox and hay container! I use WSP and and recently starting mixing hay, as well as buying herbs and edible flowers to put in the box as a special treat!

This is a great idea FrankieFlash!  As what may work for one person will not work for another.  We may each have a different routine, different bunny personalities, and litter box habits, etc that may require different types of litterbox options!  

 There are also the covered litterboxes that some people like.   Some bunnies are a bit shy with those since the covered boxes only have one opening, (many bunnies like multiple escape routes) but we have had members whose bunnies love them.  

In the store we have a litterbox screen kit which is good for people who want to save more litter.  The screen is also meant to be dumped daily -- making it easier to keep a clean box, and clean bunny feet. . See the video    

Litterbox Screen Kit (made with galvanized metal to prevent corrosion as bunny urine can be pretty darn corrosive).  

Here's the video of how it is supposed to work: 

Here is pictures of my litter box setup. I have two litter boxes side by side with a hay rack connected behind it. It is a hay rack on a stand and I zip-tied the legs to the NIC grids. Here is a post I made about my new hay rack so you can see more pictures/info here: http://www.binkybunny.com/FORUM/tab...fault.aspx

it keeps the hay from getting all over as well.

If you have a free range rabbit and can't attach the legs to anything, this hay rack would work great against a wall and wouldn't be able to move around! (sorry it is blurry)

I want to buy a Binkybunny litter screen So that I can start using the poop in my garden, but don't have the money at the moment. I had bought two a while ago but bought the wrong size and it is to small.

I love that my litter boxes are made from metal. Had plastic ones before and these are SO much better!
