How to train house rabbit

A cat sand box is suitable to mature rabbit, whereas a hospital urinal pot is suitable to little rabbit. You can buy it at the pet shop or supermarket. How about the content of it? you can use cat litter, hamster shaving, sand, or grass as a floor, but the best content is grass because rabbit likes graze, pee, and poop in this place. Besides that, grass is easily found and low on price.

The first step is placing rabbit in the small cage which inside of it has been put a sand box and had been previously filled. We can place a sandbox in the corner of cage that had been chosen by rabbit to pee. It's possible if rabbit directly uses sand box or chooses the other places as a toilet.

If rabbit has done "this activity", we can place a sand box to the place chosen by rabbit. It's better to add one more sand box, so both of those places are closed. When rabbit had adapted to the sand box usage, you could allow it outing to the small area. Next day, let a cage door be opened when a sand box was placed.

A failure always happens when we train rabbit, but don't punish rabbit. When rabbit was doing any mistake steps, we could take it up calmly and softly and then place it in the sand box as soon as possible. The main key is placing rabbit to the sand box before pee or poop. Placing rabbit to the sand box once time for every 10-15 minutes during playtime is helping you to train it.

Rabbit will learn to use sand box, so we can add more time to play. Maybe, you need to add more sand box when you allow rabbit to gain access in the wider place. If rabbit is frequently choosing a part of it room to pee and poop, you must decide to place a sand box at there. Someday, when rabbit skill to use sand box is decreased, as soon as possible, try to re-start training from the early time.

Dear Fellow Rabbit Owner and Enthusiast,

Are you frustrated with the quality of the raising rabbit guide books on the market? Same old stuff? Difficult to follow? Not enough photos? Got questions that need answering but no support?

If you already have or are thinking of getting a Rabbit then there's something you must know about. You're probably making critical mistakes in raising your rabbit and don't even know it!

The problem is that rabbits are not like other pets. You can't just buy a rabbit, put it in a shelter, give them food and expect it to live to their expectancy of up to 15 years!

Don't be surprised if rabbit can be trained to sit and stand as like as dog training. Sit is a normal position. It means that you can train it easily, at least, to get snack as a reward.

The first step is holding rabbit snack in front of it. When rabbit is seeing or smelling a snack, you can try to move your hand upwardly. Rabbit will move head and body upwardly to get snack. When you're moving snack, use a word order "sit", "sit down", or "sit pretty". If rabbit is sitting down, you can give a reward as soon as possible.

Stand up is a normal position. Ways of sit and stand up are similar to the sit training. You can give the other order words to stand up, for example: "stand up", "up" etc. Besides that, entice rabbit with a snack until doing stand position. Don't forget to give a reward.

Commonly, this training will spend for more about two weeks to two months to make rabbit can be ordered to sit down or stand up without any rewards. If there any little notices, rabbit must be trained for about 3 times a day".
