I have a 3 year old bunny named Tootsie. She is not yet litter trained. Up till now, her cage has been bedded with a think layer a newspaper, and then 4-6 inches of wood shavings. She poops and pees all over it. The thing is, she has a big cage, and cleaning it out takes over an hour. It also tkaes ALOT of shavings. But it gets stinky very quickly, as the pee is just soaked up, so I don't want to leave it longer than a few days. We recently adopted another bunny named
opper, and he was litter trained when we got him. His cage has a litter box, and then towels as bedding (he only goes in his litter box, so his bedand the rest of his cage stays clean. We just empty the shavings out of his litter box every day (which takes only a few seconds) and his cage never smells. SO, my question is, how can I train Tootsie to use a litter box. Yesterday when I cleaned her cage, I didn't do the newspaper and shavings thing. I just put a few towels in her sleeping side (under her second level platform) and put a litter pan in there with some of her poo and
ee stained litter as well as some fresh stuff. I had read that sometimes they will train themselves, so I figured I'd try it. Well, she did good the first part of the day, but then later I noticed she had peed in the corner with the towel in it and a few poos too. Also on the towel. But I know this isn't her 'favorite' corner for doing that, cause she also peed alot in te pan. Ok, this is getting VERY long, my apologies!! Any advice on training her would be great!! Thanks!!
