We have a rabbit that is about 6 months old now. How do you go about litter box training, (or whatever you call it) so that he can freely run around the house? I hate locking him up all the time, but I hate following him to pick up poop all the time.
Also, how can you tell if it's a boy or a girl?
And what do you do to discipline them when they bite or are chewing on something they shouldn't be?
The last thing I was wondering was, can you train a rabbit to come by name?
Answers:
In his cage, put a box with litter in it in the spot that he usually relieves himself in.
When a rabbit is mature, the males usually have very noticeable testicles. You can't miss them.
When they bite or chew, pull them away and say "no" in a firm voice as you would with a cat or dog.
They may or may not learn to recognize their name, it depends on the rabbit.
Clip their toenails often, otherwise walking on curved nails could be painful for them.
i had they same questions when i got my rabbit. litter training is pretty easy. i just put a litter pan with corn cob stuff and she seem to use but every once in a while you will see droppings. telling if its a male or female is just they way you can tell form dogs, cats, etc. when my chews on something i take it away. tell them no and smack them(not hard just a tap)i have never train a rabbit to come by his name but i guess its possable it doesn't work for me. clipping the nails you will need to people i usually give them carrots and clip until the quick. i hope i help
