How do you house train a rabbit? I was thinking of getting a Netherland Dwarf rabbit for the home.?

Actually Rabbits train you! The first thing you need to do before getting a rabbit is bunny proof any room they will be in, make sure there are no wires they can chew, and anything you dont want destroyed including carpet and lanolium you should remove. Potty training is easy. when you ge tthe bun home put him in his cage for 24 hours and dont let him out


see where his favorite spot to pee and poop is and place a litter box there. I use worlds best cat litter for the inside becuase it is made of all natural dried corn and has no dust which can irritate their eyes. also buns like to eat everything you dont want them eating kitty litte rmade of clay but corn wont hurt them. Place a bed in the opposite corner there food in one corner and theyre water in another, make sure you give them wood chews and toys to play with, and everytime they poop or pee in there box give them a small piece of strawberry or banana. When the miss pick it up right away and put it in the box, and do the same with the rabbit, and give them a treat once you put them in the box, they will associate the potty box with treats when they potty adn eventually get it down perfect. Once you have that down expand there area in your house little by little, place a potty box in every favorite spot....they like corners!!! and make sure you use high back pans cause they will pee over the edge is you dont and bunny pee is the worst!How do you house train a rabbit?

Oh lovely rabbit stew!!!!!How do you house train a rabbit? I was thinking of getting a Netherland Dwarf rabbit for the home.?
It's hard work. And you may well find that you give up on the idea of giving the rabbit total freedom.





You have to accept that the pet is going to spend most of it's time in a cage anyway. They absolutely cannot be left to roam the house when you are out. They lack the required level of savvy to be trusted to that extent.





There's a hell of a lot of work for you to do. You need to bunny proof all areas where the rabbits will be free to roam. That means finding ways of putting all cables out of reach, making sure no plants are there for temptation, and generally making sure that bunny isn't going to come to harm.





With regards to litter training, our rabbit Poppy was very easy to train. She lives in the living room, and, as such, when she comes out, she can always hop back into her cage to go to the toilet...and she does. We've only had a few accidents with her.





With Snowy, who lives upstairs, but comes downstairs to spend time with us regularly, she cannot go back to her cage, so we have to provide another litter tray for her.





We actually cordon off whatever part of the room we feel like, with my home-made rabbit run. This gives them room to run about, but means we don't have to be as careful about being bunny-proofed. It does mean, though, that we have to choose somewhere to put Snowy's tray.





Rabbits are creatures of habit, and they will go for a wee in a location they feel comfortable with. Don't try and make your rabbit use the litter tray where you want. Accept that where the first accidents happen is where they want the tray. It makes life much easier.





Poppy always poos in her cage/litter tray. Snowy, on the other hand, poos wherever she feels like. Rabbit poo, as long as it's not the stuff they are supposed to be eating, is not a problem at all. It's virtually dry (though a little warm when fresh), and is simple to clean up after.





This probably all sounds like a nightmare, but it's really not that bad. We'd not be without our girls now. We love them to bits. I cannot possibly go through everything in this one answer, so I will recommend ';The Complete House Rabbit';, by Carolina James.





I hope you go for it. You'll love it.
Here is a good resource for you:

Rabbits are the same as cats....they automatically use the litter box in most situations.
When I litter train my bunnies





I just confine them to one rabbit proof room and anything not in the litter box gets scooped up and placed inside the box. A rabbit will always return to the same place where the scent is to do their jobbies.





I have never ever had to scoop up more then once with any of my rabbits.





I also never leave bunnies loose unattended; they go back to their cage. There are just too many dangers for loose bunnies to get into.
I have a dutch dwarf rabbit and she lives in the house. She is adoreable. Rabbits are generally clean animals and they usually like to poo in the same place.... just put a litter tray where they generally do it. Howvere, when they hit sexual maturity (adolescence - about 4plus months) they tend to want to mark their territory. We are having a bit of trouble at the minute and are restricting her to the kitchen and cleaning up regularly. Apparently once she is neutered (which can also help prevent cancer in rabbits) this problem will be resolved. I await to see......
out it in a pan wi sum spag bol sauce its gorgeous then buy a dog u wierdo
If you leave in the Hutch to start with with a small kitten litter tray inside. When the rabbit does it's business in the hutch move whatever it's done and put it in the litter tray. It will soon start using the tray as it's toilet. Then you should be able to let it loose in the house.


No Guarantees though as I just use this to help keep their hutches clean but has always worked for me.
my house rabbit basically trained itself, i just put newspaper in one place and the rabbit went on it, or u could try with a cat litter tray with sawdust in, but make sure to put a little bit of soiled sawdust in then it will know to go there by the smell. good luck
