I just got a 1.5 yerar old Holland Lop that was supposed to be litter trained. For the first two days I kept him temporarly in a large dog crate with a solid bottom and made a tempoary litter pan out of a box with wood pellet litter. So he was using it for pee, but pills were still spread around and he did pee once on the dog's bed while out of the cage. (we let him free roam in the evenings in the rec room while we are in there).
Anyways, a I found a really nice bunny cage but it has a wire floor . So ever since I moved him into his new cage (2 days) and started to use a plastic (dish pan style) litter box he is no longer using the litter box but peeing through the wire floor (although it does seem to be in the same spot).
I put some newspaper around so he has resting spots off the wire. And this morning I moved his litter box to the spot he was peeing through, so hopefully he will use it.
I don't want to mess around with his cage any more to cause any more stress. But I have another pan that I was going to put in there tonight and see if he want two. One for sleeeping and hone for litter. Maybe that will help? Should I just put a bunch of hay over his litter? Would that help?
Thanks
