Corn based litters are ok but they do not have any odor control and the absorption is lousey

See www.rabbit.org and go to the litter training link for other brands of litter.

Also you are probably not going to be able to get away with only having one litter box. And the crucial thing to remember is that you don't get to choose where the litter box goes, the rabbit decides!!!!

All litter training literature for rabbits recommend starting out with 4 or 5 boxes scattered around the room(s) they are allowed to be in and then over the course of a week or two or even longer, you evaluate what boxes get used, which ones don't and remove boxes accordingly. Also- BIG clue, if the bunny is going is a spot where there isn't a litter box, you need to get a litter box in that location......even if it's in the middle of the floor!!!! However most bunnies prefer to have their litter boxes in a corner. I am guessing you will end up having 2 litter boxes per room. Another litter training secret is to put a handful of timmy hay at one end of the litter boxes....buns like to hang out in their litter boxes and having some hay encourages them to use the litter box.

Also remember baby buns are hyper and energetic and don't particularly care where they go potty...they're like a toddler who doesn't want to stop playing and go use a toilet. As a bunny reaches maturity they do get more discriminating and figure out on their own that it's not really cool to have their poops and pee everywhere. And another very BIG hint about litter training is that once a bunny has been spayed or neutered their litter box habits will improve dramatically because they are no longer trying to attrack a mate.

Good luck!
