To teach your rabbit to use a litter box, you can follow these steps:

  1. Place the litter box in a corner of the rabbit's living space where they tend to go to the bathroom.
  2. Use rabbit-safe litter such as paper-based or wood pellets.
  3. Place some of your rabbit's droppings in the litter box to encourage them to use it.
  4. When you see your rabbit using the litter box, praise them and offer a small treat as positive reinforcement.
  5. Clean the litter box regularly to maintain cleanliness and encourage your rabbit to continue using it.
  6. Be patient and consistent with training, as it may take time for your rabbit to get used to using the litter box.

Add a thick layer of hay at one end of the litter box or in a hay feeder close enough that your rabbit can munch while still in the box. Rabbits will naturally want to eat the hay while going to the bathroom. Place the litter box in a corner of your rabbit's housing area
