How To Solve Rabbit Urine Problems

Rabbits are very clean animals. But they pee nonetheless. Potty training is something you definitely need to train your rabbit to do. If your rabbit is indoors, this is really something you need to do. Having a rabbit outdoors in a cage can benefit with this as well. You only will have to clean the litter box of your rabbits.

When I first had a rabbit, I'd have to clean the entire cage because it'd go to the bathroom everywhere. Now that I've learned how to train my rabbit, I only have to change the litter box.

Rabbits are known to pee all around houses when let out. The reason is to mark their territory.

Rabbits may seem not territorial but they are. Urinating on a spot is a rabbits way of stating "this is my spot!"

Before you know it, your rabbit will be running out the doggies door to use the bathroom!
