Rabbits can they be litter trained?

One of the concerns I've heard raised from potential pet owners who are not familiar with rabbits is, "I couldn't let a rabbit loose in my house! It would go to the bathroom everywhere!" As it turns out, this couldn't be farther from the truth. In practice, rabbits are in general very clean animals, who prefer to keep their bathroom business separate from the rest of their business. The idea of litter "training" a rabbit is almost a misnomer, as there is very little training to be done. When you first introduce your rabbit to its new surroundings, make sure there is a litter box present, with some sort of litter (there are varying schools of thought on what makes good litter for a rabbit). You likely want this in their enclosed area, such as their cage, and should introduce them to the litter box with the enclosed space closed. As well intentioned as the rabbit might be, if you set it loose in your house with a litter box somewhere, it is just as likely to choose some other comfortable spot as its "litter box". If you instead put them in a relatively enclosed space with one obvious litter box, they will almost assuredly find it and use it. Once they do, they'll go out of their way to find it and use it again. You'll likely find that if your rabbit is out of its cage exploring, it will actively run back into its cage to use the litter box when necessary, which is one of several reasons you should not close your rabbits cage if you have let it out to play/exercise/explore.

There are of course exceptions to this rule. A rabbit that has not been spayed or neutered can exhibit a variety of antisocial behaviors, including marking of territory by spraying urine. You don't want that. A sick rabbit may show poor bathroom habits. A rabbit that is normally well behaved on this front that suddenly starts having accidents should probably be taken to a vet and examined. But all things considered, while there is a lot that goes into properly caring for a rabbit, bathroom training is usually not a difficult task.
