  I read that rabbits will commonly lay in their litter box when they’re not feeling good. But mine naps in there frequently, and has his whole life (for the past 10 months). Since it’s such an ongoing habit, is there any reason to be worried?

  Nope-it’s comfy! It has hay I’m assuming, and he doesn’t have to go anywhere to use the toilet! Especially as this has always been going on-all is well. You likely use a comfy litter or have a non-picky bunny

  I use aspen shavings, so I’m guessing it’s cushy. And he has a large amount of hay. Well, that’s good to know then I just stumbled across an article earlier that mentioned it as a sign of illness and I thought it was odd that he’s done it very often, while not showing any symptoms. Glad to know it’s not a sign of anything bad Thanks.
