One customer review asked about his male rabbit jumps and sprays his urine out of the cage. so does mine so how do you deal with that?

A neutered rabbit won't spray. This is a tiny cage, please consider an x-pen.

I bought a urine guard and installed it on the side of the cage that the bunny pees.MidWest has a good one that should fit for this cage and is cheap.

I have never had that issue before, but this works very well with dog urine odor. You might want to mix it a little stronger or perhaps use full strength. the people with the company are pretty helpful, they might have more info. But this is pretty effective, with Eco 88 one of the two best I have used. And I have quite a bit of experience with cleaning up accidents. It even works on my hard wood(unsealed) floorGood luck, you might need to make sure that you get it in the crevices too.

We bought a plastic high corner littler pan and the bunny does a great job...most of the time....going in it. The plastic clips on the pan fit nicely on the plastic bottom of the cage. We use a piece of yarn just to secure it a bit better because our bunny like to lift it out of the corner and dig under it. We actually didn't wind up using the stairs or the second level. At first, we just used one side of the second level so that the litter pan would fit. But our bunny would hide under it too much and not be as social, so we took it away. LOVE that this is on wheels by the way! And it's very big and roomy. Bunny is very happy in it. She is able to hop in and out of the cage easily by herself.

question: do the guards go inside or outside the cage? Our guards have sharp metal corners and I see a safety problem inside.

If a rabbit wanted something on the other side of this stuff, they'd be through it in seconds. If your main concern is keeping rabbits at bay, you really need to go with something metal (chicken wire, etc.).

He's neutered? If so this might help bring him to the box but it sounds more like a territorial issue if he's spraying.

I only use bedding in the bottom pan, we do not put bedding on the wire rack. My bunny has no problem with her feet hurting on the wire, but I do make sure she has a bed to lie on if she wants. I really like this cage because the bottom pan is so deep and the poo does not overflow. I also don't recommend putting bedding where your bunny can sit in its own urine since they can get a parasite that could come from sitting in its urine. You can also put hay on the wire to help the bunnies feet.

You simply pull out the little drawer that is below the grate inside & dump it. I always washed mine out, as well, but that is a personal preference. The cage comes apart easily for weekly, biweekly or monthly full cleaning. For whatever reason, the rabbits seem to know to do their "business" down that grate, which is awesome, since it goes down into that little pull out drawer for easy cleaning.

If he sprays, this will bring him into the litter box, but he will still aim high with his urine. In our shelter, we resorted to using homemade litter boxes made from soft plastic storage containers with an entry door cut in one end. At least then, the spray will be contained inside the box where it is easier to wipe. The litter attractant may encourage him to mark his spot in the litter. It's worth a try.

Mine doesn't even squat, I used to have pee all over the wall. This one is high enough most of the time, just once in awhile he still likes to aim high lol, but it's the highest I found and again I'm happy with it. Good luck:)

I would say that it is mostly for urine. However I took a side cutter and removed several of the cross members so the the rabbit pellets could fall through. That seems to work. I bought three so that I have a clean on ready all the time. Hope this helped you..

I just got my new rabbit air, and, so far, I am disappointed by its ability to eliminate odors--and specifically of the perfume or new paint type. I will be in touch with the manufacturer. It seems to be functioning well in other respects, and I am certain that everything is properly installed.

I haven't tried that with this particular hutch. The rabbit can hop from the closed nest box area to the open area in the cage. Most rabbits could probably hop down, but too high to get back in on their own. A flat board to the open door would probably work, though, if you want to give your rabbit freedom to come and go from the hutch. I have done this in the past with other hutches.

Hey Stacy,.. I am not too sure,as I have a family of 5 bunnies that reside in an extra large dog cage, so they have the bottom of that to protect their feet. I did purchase one of the Peter mats but my rabbits had it totally torn apart after a few days. They also were spoiled using it, as they got a bit lazy and urinated on it etc. But regardless, It is worth trying out for the price! Just try n make sure u get something that is ok for them to ingest, as having a new item in their area may cause them to nip at it etc. Unless u get another new chew toy in there at the same time,.. it may help distract him or her from the new 'carpet". Sorry I couldn't be of more help!!! Best of Luck, Kristi Hey Stacy,..

It will indeed hurt a bunny's feet, and can and should be removed. Rabbits should be litterbox trained. Visit House Rabbit Society's website for more info.

Well... I'm not impressed with liquid fence. It stinks to the high heavens, but it does not repel the rabbits that eat my plants! They hop right through the stuff, i've watched them do it. Now I'm using a pellet gun. Much more effective! Sorry, i know you have a rabbit as a pet, but the ones in my yard are evil pests.

I buy the grass mats for a 'chew toy'. It would work if your rabbit doesn't destroy the mat too quickly, either by chewing or fouling (toilet). My hutch has a wide plastic grid for the floor, but a previous wire grid cage did wear off the foot fur. Not so much as to cause sore hocks, but it is an issue for pets who spend all their time on wire. You might try simply buying bulk hay for the rabbit to spread around to his comfort, but you will have to completely clear it and refresh every day or at least every other (like a horse's stall) to prevent smell, illness potential, or just plain eating dirty hay. contact your local House Rabbit Society for other suggestions.
