I've had two males rabbits in the past, both neutered and both litter box trained. I have read that it is better, and even recommended, to have your rabbit spayed or neutered. It will be easier to litter box train and it won't spray.





I kept a litter box in their cage in the corner they used as a bathroom. That helped them get used to using it. After that, I would let them loose in a small confined room with the litter box placed in a corner. I did not leave them alone; I watched them and would put them in the box if they seemed like they had to go. They are creatures of habit so if they prefer a different corner, move the litter box there. It really didn't take them that long to learn and use the litter box consistently.





With consistency and patience, you can successfully train a rabbit. Do not get angry or punish the rabbit for an accident. Just like a cat, put them in the litter box if it makes a mistake. Good luck! Here are some websites for you to review.
Depending on the age of your rabbit if your rabbit is younger it will be easy but if it is older it may be more difficult with my rabbit you can buy a corner litterbox made for a rabbit or use a little box put a treat inthere so it gets use to going in there and put it inthere once in awhile it wil get used to it and start going in there it doees not have to be spayed or neutered
get a litter box put some liteer at the bottom( only enough to cover the bottom) then buy some hay or grass ( the kind for rabbit) you can find it at your local pet store. put the grass or hay on top of that. rabbits tend to eat where they poop, so he should go in it. just drop him in it a few times and them wha la! he's trained and won't poop everywhere and anywhere. we use thius at the humane society where i work.
bunnys and rabbits...just poop anywhere they will even sometimes eat it!


it is IMPOSIBLE to potty train a bunny or rabbit





hope this helps
