How old does a rabbit have to be in order to teach it to use a litter box, and how do you teach it?

Right now, I have two five week old rabbits. They drink from the bottle for half their meals and eat solids like romaine and tomatoes for the other half. I want to teach them to use a litter box so that they are not constanly cooped up in their pet taxi, but I'm afraid they still may be too young. What is a good age to begin training them, and once they are at a good age, how do I train them to use it?How old does a rabbit have to be in order to teach it to use a litter box, and how do you teach it?
I've written a short article on how to toilet train bunns -

As I say in my article, do they make little piles of droppings? These are the places where you need to put a litter tray, so that they'll learn to go on the tray. You'll probably need more than one tray, especially at the beginning. If they're leaving single droppings around the room, always collect them up and put them in the tray(s) - that way they'll get used to the idea that this is where they go. The older rabbits get, the better they become at going to the toilet in the one place. It takes time and patience. Best of luck to you and your bunns!How old does a rabbit have to be in order to teach it to use a litter box, and how do you teach it?

I think the earliest is the best to train them how to use a litter box. Also spay or neutering your pet helps with training as well. Here is some info on training.
I don't think rabbits can be too young to start using a litter box. Place the box in a corner they like to use and fill it with wood stove pellets and timothy hay. They will munch the hay and go at the same time. It's like reading while on the toilet. Check out this website for more information.
Dont train them let them grow up wild and then eat them they taste really good if they grow up wild.
put a litter box in their cage


it has to be low enough for them to get into


each time you see them going


put them there


so you have to hang around right after feed %26amp; water time


right now they are too young


but start soon


when they are fully weened is a good time as I remember


rabbits are a clean animal


to begin with
at about 8 weeks put boxes with bunny friendly litter in their cage(s) or around the house


pick up some of their pellets and put them in the boxes on top of the litter and clean up all others.


you need to atart with several boxes and get rid of them as they become pros at using them. If you start out with too few they will take alot longer to get the hint. my bunny took about 6 weeks to get trained well
well, i didnt even know u could litter train a rabbit
i trained mine when it was a baby. the younger, the easier. just like learning a language when u were young is easier than wen older
