How to do train your rabbit to use this? I'm new to rabbit and just adopted a 4 yr old bunny and he's just doing his business all over the cage. Thx.

Bunnies are fairly easy to train for a litter box. I've had many bunnies and in one way or another they prefer to use one particular corner. First establish which corner he prefers. Sometimes there are a couple so I use two litter boxes to start. I use wood chips, like they use in horse stalls, they like the smell and on top of that I put some timothy hay or alfalfa under the grate with a little sticking up to give them a treat once they hop onto the tray. If he is particularly stubborn, perhaps a little piece of apple will help. It does take some time, so just be patient and he will get there. Once he starts showing interest I usually praise him with "good bunny, or good boy". Mine responds to that. I hope this helps.

For rabbits I sprinkle it around the perimeter of the garden.For gophers, I pour a little in the hole and cover it.I seems to work a little better for rabbits. It needs to be reapplied every couple of weeks.

If you have a small rabbit it's perfect pairing with a rabbit fence enclosure. I did take the grate top off the litter box....my rabbit is completely potty trained.

It depends, you may have to wait until your puppy gets older, especially if he/she is hyper. My rabbits react to the clicking and do the tricks I ask for based on knowing they will get a treat, which is the key. Best of luck.

first off why do you allow him to frighten squirrel .Sound kind of mean to me. This harness get all caught up in there fur and hurt themI dont use it any more for this reason.

They sit in the poop tray... Best to train ur bunny and set him up a "bathroom" bin for easier cleaning and bunny hygiene.

Although I don't have any experience with bunnies I can tell you that my Russian dwarf hamster doesn't track this anywhere. He does get a few pieces in his food bowl from time to time but nothing to make a major mess. It doesn't take a lot to cover his cage, I do give him a little more in certain places because he likes to dig and bury but other than that just enough to cover the bottom and keep him warm is enough.

Use an invisible fence inside of your other fence. I saw inside because for me one thing I don't like about them is your dog may not go out of the yard but other dogs & people can come in. I used one inside of my other fence for a dog who would climb or scale any fence I put him in. Depending on your breed also you may want to trade the regular collar in for a "stubborn dog" collar. I have Rhodesian Ridgebacks & this male when he had the regular collar on just stood there getting zapped & looked at me like - ya right you think this will keep me in? Only 1 of my boys went thru it w/stbn collar on & he thought I needed him. I purchased not the "brand" name invisible fence a cheaper one. Just make sure if you get the wire kind to set it all down FIRST before permnantly installing! Also watch the training video & read the booklet & make sure you train the dog correctly. Do exactly as it says don't cut corners. The newest ones out that are wireless are incredible but a lot more expensive. What is your breed of dog? That would be my best suggestion. Otherwise you will have to secure your fence on the bottom with like 2x4's around the outside nailed to posts. Have a much heavier fence installed & high enough the dog doesn't jump and the weave close enough so he can't climb. The invisible fence would be cheaper & I think a better solution. One other thing I know someone who had a Boxer & theirs got a short in it & the dog stayed right in the circled area. Many folks tell me this they shut theirs off after a while & dog stays right in the boundries. Not so with a RR my two boys checked it every day to make sure it was working. My husband did not ground a new one we put in after moving & it got zapped & ruined (make sure you do that!) & one of my boys knew it was off in less than 1/2 hour & was out.

I have never used this for rabbits but did have a rabbit that used a regular litter box. My suggestion would be to buy just a bag of the pellets and make sure the rabbit does not try to chew on them and uses the box normally. If so, this system would be ideal. Scooping their solids might be a bit challenging as their solids are very similar in size and shape to the pellets. I cannot say how much we are pleased with ours. The urine collection system is unlike any other and it truly works. Best of luck!

It's not even really nessesary to "train" them. They can smell the water and will teach themselves. But for extra measure, I put it on the cage and with them inside, make it drip once or twice with your finger on the roller ball. They will see the water drip and know right where to go.

I had the same problem with my rabbit; I ended up ordering stainless steel bowls from Amazon which hook onto the cage. I use one for food and one for treats; this is working out great! It's been a year now and I'm very happy with the outcome :)) TRY THIS! You won't be sorry....

I'm not sure how much my bunny weighs. Maybe about the same? She's about 8 months old and this cage is pretty small. She stretches out like a dog sometimes from not having room to move around much. If I were to see this in the store, I would've tried to find a bigger one. I guess that's where paying attention to measurements would've come in handy!

Hello, I have two rabbits and they cannot jump over this gate, it gives you the option to connect to their cage however I don't use it so I wouldn't be able to give feedback on how well that works (i never tried hooking it up) I only use the gate for play time or while I clean their living space not sure a small rabbit could squeeze through underneath it comes with the blue vinyl that keeps them from digging through underneath but since I've had this gate neither of my rabbits have tried squeezing through it but again they are only there for short periods of time and I am usually with them when they are in their playpen. Hope it helps.

I purchased the pellet litter for our rabbit. He is a little Dutch, but he would not use it and he chewed the whole front and one of the sides; so we threw it away.

Usually rabbits will pick a corner in their cage to go potty. Then put your litter box in that corner. In the beginning I would even put some of the soiled bedding inside the litter box so they can smell that it's there. They will usually pick it up fairly quickly.

I'm not sure, all I know is rabbits usually poop catty corner to their water source. So you may try moving the water source.

It takes time to train your dog to use it. Ours (IG - 15 lbs) took almost a year to be totally accident free from a bigger box. We have her when she was 5 months old, and trainned her to use the box ever since. This box is a replacement of what we originally had. She used it right away without any issue. This box is a few inches smaller than what we had before. It works if you are willing to train your dog, and it does not happen over night. However, because of the box size, I would not recommend it to any dog over 15 lbs. They seem to have a bigger version, but I have not seen it in person.
