How to change corner of hutch rabbit uses for potty

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Countryside : One Thread

A rabbit of ours uses one of the front corners of his hutch as his bathroom corner. It's inconvenient, because the way the hutch is constructed, the stuff piles up there. Is there anything I can put there to convince him to move to a back corner? Something smelly that he doesn't like?

Try moving his feed dish near the spot.

clean the area,, move some pellets into the spot where you want, and , as mentioned, move the feeder

If he won't change, how about giving him a litter box? One of my bucks goes on top of his house. Looks like a little pryamid up there after a few days. Tried several times to get him to stop but finally figured he could be going IN the house so...

You can litter train your rabbit Try to put a little pan of litter in the spot it goes all the time and then gradually move it else where and the rabbit will prabably keep going in the litter box. Mine did.
