Your rabbit's names! (Put 'Future bun owner' if non-owner): Falafel and Benji! I think Falafel is a mini rex but I'm not 100% sure, he just kinda showed up in our yard one day so I just compared him to a lot of different breeds online lol. Benji is a rex/american and was adopted from the shelter.


Ohhh Falafel, the distant cousin to my Löffel! Food names for the win and both share a colour hahaha. I'm not that knowledgeable about Rexes (never thought I'd own one), but I think it goes by weight. So if he's in the weight category for Mini, then it works. He's definitely a Rex and looks like Löffel on a good day.
Mine just loses fur in a weird way and always looks like a well loved teddy bear.

Löffel is adorable! Glad to have confirmation on his breed, as well! I was always so hesitant calling him that even though I thought he was, never got a second opinion until now. That definitely makes him a mini rex then! Last vet appointment he was between 3 and 4 lbs.

I'd actually love to know how everyone has their litterboxes or whatever set up for their rabbits. I don't have the litterbox set-up I'd like, and while the rabbits don't care, it's driving me insane. They have their own currently because they are not bonded right now. I had to wait a while to even move them into the same room due to a lot of stuff, and I've been looking for new options.

I have a whole room just for them and use the bottom of a small animal cage as their litter box; wanted something bigger as the usual cat litter box as they get their hay there and can comfortably fit inside with lots of space.
Depends on how much space you have I guess? I know a lot use cat litter boxes, because they're pretty small and their bunnies feel safe inside of them.

Here is the Mister while inspecting my cleaning utensils, the way he's shedding is always... interesting. I swear he can look pretty and cute, hahahaha. Sometimes his name is just 'Old Gramps', because he looks like one.

Your rabbit's names! (Put 'Future bun owner' if non-owner): Um...there may be too many too name tbh. But a few are Salem, Alice, Elsa, Ballas, Ayanna, Winifred, Tiger Lily, Killian, Cappuccino, Doug, and Wild Thing.

Below is one of my favorite ladies, Anevia, when she was a baby, as well as one of my favorite mice. Seemed fitting with Valentine's around the corner!

Bunnies can be litter trained for sure, but it depends if they WANT to be. XD I've had buns who didn't want to use their tray, so keeping an eye on them 100% was a must. So their cage set-up was traditional BUT with the proper space + exercise through the house. (these were some bunnies my parents had while growing up.)

For my late bun Roxy (My first bun I adopted as an adult) she learned to use her pan when I put some of the used bedding in it. The bunny will smell it, and learns where to eliminate properly.

But for Winnie, they are VERY smart. They started using their tray instantly, no accidents so far as the time of this being posted. I can trust them to roam without an accident.

As for recommendations; We use cat litter boxes, BUT with a raised back/sides. Bunnies tend to lift up their butt when eliminating, so accidents can occur if the pan's sides isn't high enough. Just like a cat box, it needs to be larger than the cat itself. Too many people get the wrong pan by being too small or the sides being too low.

True that @ litter training. I owned six rabbits so far and five of them were litter trained, only one of them didn't... want to, I guess. I owned her for about four years, and tried lots of times and she did use the litter box, but only about ~60% of the time.

@The Mean Kitty
Yes, yes, more pictures please, also from your other buns! =)

Throwback to my little dumb Sir Marshmallow who just couldn't understand how this hay rack works:

i use a high sided cat litterbox, it's lower in the front and higher in the back . i put hay/food in front of the low part so then they potty in the high side and it keeps them from peeing over the edge ( i've had a few litterboxes where he's backed into a corner and peed over the box ) . since he's outside i have in in a plastic dog crate to keep it dry .
he only uses his box and not his dogloo ( which is stuffed with pine shavings and straw, the litter box has pine pellets ) or the dirt .
