        okay!! so this is my third attempt at litter box training.  My first two attempts failed because I didn’t do my proper research.  !) she wasn’t spayed.  2) I failed to put hay in the box as I have seen so many people do.

         so this time around, I’ve managed to put a big litter box filled with hay in and i think i might have success!

         i’ve noticed that she hasn’t had any accidents.  She will pop into the cage and use the litterbox and then pop back out.  All her poos have been in the box as well.  This initially didn’t strike me because i’ve noticed a pattern that she usually poos while she eats hay. Like literally it goes in one end and out the other

         but the other day I noticed that right after she ate her fresh veggies, she went into the litter box and pooed.  Now this was odd because after she eats her veggies she doesn’t usually eat more hay so I had to guess that she went in the box to do her business.

         

        So my question is, how do I know she is successful litter trained?  I’m curious because once she is litter trained then I can do away with the cage and then build her a bunny condo, which i’m super excited for her to have!

            Good to hear you’ve got the proper litterbox set up now and that it seems to be working! Rabbits actually are prone to pooping while they eat, especially if they’re grazing hay. This is one reason that we put hay into the litterboxes. So far it seems that she’s getting the hang of it, but don’t be disappointed or discouraged if she marks outside the box from time to time. After a little while, she should fully get the hang of it and you’ll notice because, well, it will be obvious.

            Another good thing to remember is that bunnies prefer to have their litterboxes in a corner, as this mimicks their natural warren configuration. C:
