  Okay I have a baby lionhead shes a girl and about 7 and a half weeks now we have been trying to potty train her and she was doing well all her poops have been in the litter box and pee was outside I always cleaned the spots and put the paper in her litter box which she picked up but now she wont poop in her litter box and just pees and now theres poop and so much of it everywhere.any suggestions on how to train her. It’s a problem since her coat is long and sometimes she gets a poop ball in her coat.

  Is she only 7.5 weeks old? Or is that how long you’ve had her?
  
  If she is only that old, she is still a very young baby, and should really still be with her mom.
  
  If she’s a baby still, it will be hard to potty train her until she gets older, just like human babies. If she’s older (a few months old), then she is prob hitting puberty, which also makes things hard, and you should start thinking about getting her spayed (usually this is done at 6-8 months of age for females, but depends on the vet).
  
  It helps to continue doing as you have been, make sure that there is only bedding in her litter box (not everywhere in the cage), and that there are not soft things or grass mats in the cage. Make sure she can only access her hay from inside the litter box, as rabbits tend to poop while they eat hay.
