        Hello! I’ve had my bunny Charlie for what will be one month this Friday. He’ll be five months old. He doesn’t have cage, I let him run free, and in one part of my bedroom have a few blankets set up for him, a litter box, an igloo, and some newspaper between the igloo and litter box. For a bit, he would pee in the litter box, and he has mainly pooped on the newspaper. Now he doesn’t really use the litter box for anything other than eating the hay in it haha. He pees and poops on the newspaper only (it’s just plain newspaper, no hay). I don’t mind that he goes on the newspaper, but I’d rather he go in his litter box. He’s not neutered yet, I will be getting him neutered in about a month. I was wondering whether I should move the litter box to where the newspaper is, but I feel like it won’t really make a difference because they’re already right next to each other. I feel like he just likes going on newspaper. I’ve taken him on sleepovers to my boyfriend’s house, and I place some newspaper on the floor, which is where he mainly pees when we go there, he just seems to want the newspaper. Do you guys have any tips on making him move to the box? It has newspaper in it already and some hay, but like I said, he just uses it to eat some hay.

          First off, when you are still litter training, it is best to keep them confined to a cage. Moving the litter box where the newspaper is might actually help. That is what I needed to do when I was litter training my bunny.

            I would get an xpen and keep him in that area until he has been neutered it will help with litter training as well. Perhaps you can take the newspaper that he likes to poop on and put it in the litter box. Maybe put newpaper in one part of the litter box and then put hay in the other part. He will see the newspaper and jump in and use it and eat the hay. Like LittleBunnyPaws said move the litter box where the newspaper usually is. I also have more than one litter box that also might be helpful.
