Litter Train A Mini Dwarf Rabbit

Today I will write a little about litter-box train your Mini Dwarf Rabbit.

Rabbits, just like cats do not to foul the area where they eat and sleep.
Some are easily trained to use the litter box, while others need more time and patience.


The most important thing is to be consistent and praise your mini dwarf rabbit. Never scold him for not using the litter box. This will frighten and confuse him.


Start in a small space (one room) and then moving up to the whole house. Organic litter made from paper is perfect. Place the box in an area that your mini dwarf rabbit tends to use most frequently for elimination. Put some fecal pellets in the box to help give him the right idea. Then add a handful of hay next to the litter box a mini dwarf rabbit likes to chew on something during usage. Put him in it often especially after eating, and hopefully it will get the idea.


Also keep him away from something soft they love to do their business on it.
Try to recognize when your bunny is about to do its business might save some cleaning.
If your mini dwarf rabbit pushes out its bottom and tail he is about to pee.
In the early days follow your bunny everywhere and when your bunny pees in the wrong spot scold him firmly without raising your voice. Put him in his Litter box and clean the spot with some vinegar. Mini dwarf rabbits don’t like the smell of it and will avoid the area for another try.


Spayed and neutered rabbits are easier to litter-train and more reliable and gradually stop spraying.


Give your mini dwarf rabbit lots of praise and maybe a little treat whenever it uses the litter box. Make him feel special and at the center of attention.
With any luck it will want to repeat the experience.
