Question
I've had my rabbit nearly a wk. She's going to be 8wks old, how do i keep her from using the bathroom allover the place when I take her out to play?How can I litter train her?

Answer
Hi Melanie,
Good question, and perhaps the most asked! First,rabbits will have "droppings" everywhere they go..there really is no stopping this,...but as for peeing, they should only be peeing in one prefered spot in their cage, or hutch.
 Litter training is easy when they learn to "go" in a litter box with wood chips.  after they get the hang of this in their cage/hutch,they will only go in there, and will hold it during playtime out of the cage. (as long as playtime isn't more than 1 hour!)
 Hope this helps..Good luck,Elizabeth
