Wipe up any pee accidents with paper towels and place the soiled towel(s) in the litter box. Either as a litter box or as a litter with bedding which can be used for nesting the rabbit. Computer chair mats, a scrap of vinyl flooring or some extra tiles all work well. There are two different categories of rabbit litter boxes. Consider placing something easy-to clean under the box to easily clean up spills. Be sure hay rack is easy for your rabbit to reach and that he can't get his head (or body) stuck in the rack.
Place litter material in bottom of box and hay either on top of litter and/or in hay rack above box. Clumping/clay cat litter is not rabbit-safe.
With long-haired rabbits, some bedding may stick in their fur. You may also want to consider your rabbit's fur type when choosing. Good choices include recycled newspaper (like Yesterday's News), pelletized litter (like Equine Pine from Tractor Supply), and small pet bedding (like Carefresh). Boxes marketed for cats usually work better than the ones made for rabbits which are often much too small. For many bunnies, the bigger, the better! You can think outside the box- underbed storage containers, concrete mixing tubs, dog litter boxes- all work well. Whatever container you choose for a litter box needs to be large enough for your rabbit to comfortably turn around. Rabbits like to eat and poop at the same time-very efficient!- so placing hay in and/or above the litter box attracts bunny to the litter box. When setting up your rabbit's litter box area, you'll want to consider several things.
