I have never done it but I wouldn't say it is impossible. It can't hurt to try. May just take longer.

Hi varna!

My bunnies are all different ages. They were all litter trained with very little difficulty.

I actually only had a little difficulty with the younger buns. The older buns seemed to take to it easier.

Benji was about 18 months when we litter trained him and he took right to it.

S'more is at least 2 1/2 years old and it went well with her, too.

Binkie is about 8 months old now. We started training her at about 6months and then battled with her over it until about a month ago.

Loki was about 1 year old when I got him, and he littertrained pretty easily.

Is the rabbit spayed or neutered? That will help a lot.

Last year I got 8 rabbits that were all outdoorbuns that were kept in hutches, year round. I got them inAugust and by November, when I brought them inside, 7 of them weretotally litter trained. They were all between 3 & 8years old. The 8 year old (now 9) is the only one that hasn'ttruly mastered it but, she does pee in the box. So, you canteach an old rabbit "new tricks"!

Definitely agree with the others that it's not too late.

I love the way dootsmom put it about you can teach an old rabbit new tricks. :highfive:

Hope you're well, Varna.

Not too late at all. Infact, in my experience I found it easier to litter train older rabbitsthan young ones. Ahem.angel.ahem.pristine.ahem
