Contrary to popular belief, rabbits are naturally clean animals who prefer to do their business in one designated spot. In the wild, they create specific latrine areas away from their living spaces, and this instinct makes them perfect candidates for litter training.
Here’s why litter training your rabbit is essential:
Health Benefits Your rabbit’s health depends on a clean environment. Sitting in soiled bedding can lead to urine scald, respiratory issues from ammonia buildup, and painful sore hocks. A proper litter box setup prevents these common health problems.
Easier Bonding A litter-trained rabbit can enjoy more freedom around your home, leading to stronger bonds with family members. You’ll worry less about accidents and spend more quality time with your furry friend.
Cost Savings Instead of changing entire cage bedding weekly, you’ll only need to clean the litter box. This dramatically reduces bedding costs and saves you money in the long run.
