Any ideas on how to get our 3 month old buck to do his no 1s and no 2s in his potty thingy? At the moment he does his business anywhere in his hutch. I've tried putting some of his poos in the potty to give him the general idea to no avail. Our two previous bunnies cottoned on very quickly - they were both does, not sure if does are generally cleaner than bucks though.

Entire bucks are harder to train, Will you be having him neautered?

Put as many litter trays as you can fit in the his hutch, take out all poop's and wee's that have not been

done in the trays as soon as possible, Add some of the bedding that has pee on ( if on straw etc) to the litter

try.

I find adding some hay to the little trays help as the sit in them nibble and wee.

Do you have a photo of his set-up?

Hello

 

Yes we will be having him neutered in the New Year. Thanks for the advice will try it out later. Here's a link to his hutch.http://www.forshamcottagearks.com/small-pet-runs-and-hutches/really-big-rabbit-hutch.htm

 

His home is better built than mine

Wow that hutch is amazing and I thought my bunnies had a delux hutch being two storey with loads of space. We had our bunnies from 12 weeks and they used their litter tray from day one. Once we had had them done too they were much cleaner and stopped spraying etc. They always have a corner they prefer to do their business and it will soon learn, bear with him, it well worth waiting for. I just have tl clean the litter tray out every day, they are very clean
