Can a rabbit be housebroken?

Can they be taught to just use a litter box like the cat does? Are rabbits any more expensive to care for than cats?Can a rabbit be housebroken?
Yes they can be taught. And rather easily actually. Get rabbits for dummies it is a great book that can give you all that you need to know about house breaking a bunny.





Rabbits are actually a great deal cheaper to take care of the cats, I have both and it cost a lot less to take my rabbit to the vet then it does my cat. The only time the cost is about the same is when you get the rabbit fixed, which I would strongly suggest you do when the time comes





Hope this helpsCan a rabbit be housebroken?
They are cheaper in my experiance.Some feed stores sale the feed by the lb. Ive seen it as low as 35 cents a lb.Rabbits can run from $10-well very high because I bought highly bread rabbits for show.Yes they can be litter box trained.They are easier than cats.My girlfriend had one livein her house for 10 yrs before that silly bunny died.But watch your electrical cords and things like that.Thats one of the bigger things to worry about.They will chew them up till...Well thats how her bunny died. =-( But she lived a long life.NO LETTUCE OR CABBAGE even though popular opinion says you can.Ask a vet.Hay is good for them.They LOVE it!
yes a bunny can be litter box trained. If you want to train yours read on: 1st watch you bunny for a couple of days and watch what corner he goes in the most then put in a bunny box ( i recommend the kind with bars over it so it doesn't throw the litter out) then put in litter that works best for you (i like yesterdays news the cat brand, it is absorbent and you get more of it plus it is cheaper) Then watch to make sure he/she goes in it. That's it. Also they are about the same price to take care of but you don't have to take the bunny to the vet a much unless it is sick.
Rabbits can cost about the same as cats from my experience I have both. 3 house bunnies and 3 cats. They both need to go to the vet regularly but rabbit food can be cheaper. To save cost on the hay I purchase it in bales, this only works if you have space to store them. I seperate the bales into boxes and store in the attic, but I'm always sweeping hay up.


Yes rabbits can be litter trained two of my rabbits are fully litter trained and have run of the house. We still find marbles now and then, but most is in the litter boxes. We have a litter box in each hutch and 2 boxes in the living room along with a hay box. Yes we do have to clean up hay of the carpeting at night, but that's what a 14yr son is for. It's also esier if the rabbit has been fixed. My oldest rabbit is 9 and not fixed and likes to mark and is only litter trained in his cage,


For the first few weeks litter box training should take place mainly in the cage. Rabbits start using a litterbox because they like it. Each time they use it, they find it easier to use agian. A habbit is formed as they train themselves. When you add freedom, use a small starter space, so the bunny has acces at all times to a local litterbox and can continue self-training. If more litter boxes are needed add them. I jst watched where I saw them leave marbles and sat a box there. Yes it was troublesome at first but after a while they picked a spot and used it regularly and I was able to take away the extra boxes. Hope this helps
Yes, they can be litter trained just as easily as cats. I would say they are less expensive to care for because they do not need vaccinations (assuming you are in the U.S.). They do need to be spayed/neutered and the cost is about the same as for a cat.

Rabbits make wonderful house pets and you can train them to use a litter box, just like a cat. Actually, they train themselves. Rabbits are very clean animals and like to ';go potty'; in the same spot all the time. The trick is to put a litter box in that spot! Use a litter box big enough for the bunny to get into and sit in, not big enough to lay in! Use a kitty litter made from Recycled Newspaper (like Yesterdays News or Mews Paper). Regular kitty litter contains clay (to absorb odors) but cats don't eat their litter, rabbits will, and ingesting clay can kill a rabbit.


Rabbits are better at controling their urine than they are about the ';droppings';. But the droppings are generally hard and dry, have no smell, and are easy to sweep up. (It's the urine that has an odor. Better they should do it in a litter box... makes it so easy to clean up.)


Rabbits can be less expensive to care for than rabbits. They don't require any innoculations (in the US) or regular vet visits. Their food is cheaper than a cats too! But if the bunny gets hurt or sick, most vets consider Rabbits to be an exotic pet and charge more than their regular fees to treat them.
Heell, naw. NO no. uh-uh...they cannot.
