Hoppy Days from Acton, Ontario

[debjesse]

Good Day everyone, I am new to this forum and have a 2 and a half month old Holland Lop named Sparrow.

I am in the midst of trying to potty train, but know that until she is spayed it may be a long road.

If you have any tips for us, please feel free to throw them my way.

Thanks

Hi! Welcome! Love to see pictures of your bunbun!
It will be hard but not impossible! Can I ask what so far you have done?

Good Morning JjGoesBounce,

At least it is here. We have removed all bedding from the bottom of the cage and are only using it in the litter box, we have cleaned up any pee from the bottom of the cage and put the pee filled paper towel in the box.

The only thing we have troubles with is the poop, but I know it takes time and she is very young.

P.S. I will send pics when I have time to (hopefully tonight)

Thank you

Hi! It is here as well, the sun has yet to rise and shine hope into our eyes. Whats on the bottom of the cage? May I suggest (sorry if I understood or read it wrong) that you put bedding in the litterbox with some of her hay on the side of the litterbox? The poops can be in or out but there is really no way to tell, I resorted to a higher litterbox when Pembrooke was kicking them out with her feet by accident.Her litter habits will certainly get better very soon but you are right to start her off young! Looking forward to the pics and PM me with any questions!

Welcome again!

Welcome to the forum. You will find some helpful things about litter training etc in the library section.

Welcome to the forums. I just got my 8mos old french lop neutered and he is still being confined to help his healing process but before then he would also leave bits of poop outside of his box. Not too many but still enough to clean up. Maybe as they get older the random droppings will stop. Good Luck and Yes the library is a great place for advice!

Welcome,

Potty training is fun, isn't it! You think they will never get the hang of it, and then for some reason it clicks. I say by 3 months, it clicked for mine regarding pee.

Yes, hormones are those nasty little devils inside our buns who make them do things they shouldn't. One of my favorite devils is marking territory with pee. Disgusting habit. I don't know about girls, but boy can boys tell you were they have been.

After neutering and a bit of growing up (9 months old), I'm finding no marking from my boys but still have to pick up a few poops.

Hang in there. Everything you are doing is helping her learn. She'll get the hang of it.

I would like to welcome you to Rabbits Online, my name is Dave and I am a moderator on the forum. So if I can be of any help please let me know. This is a terrific website for rabbits and their slaves, not only is it very active but also friendly. I am so glad you’re here and I know you will enjoy it.

Many bunnies’ recommend their slaves to this site so we may learn of others methods to keeping our furry masters happy.

If you everhave a sick bunny, please post in The Infirmary and include your rabbit's age, breed and health history as well diet and output details leading up to the problem.

Here are somelinks I thought you might find interesting:

*For reference the Library section

*To brag or tell everyone about the antics of your bunny or just to talk about your day here is where to start a Bunny Blog, you can also look back at it later and remember when you had a life before your bunny.

*Now all the bunny’s like talk to each other when we mere slaves aren’t around in the Bunny Chat is the spot to be.

*The House Rabbit Society has a lot of good information on what veggies are safe for bunny’s, etc.

*Here is a link to learn what your furry master is trying to say to you How to Understand Your Bunny's Language

*Rabbits Online also has regional forums , this a good way to find a vet in your area that has experience with rabbits and to find out from other nearby of good sources of rabbit supplies.

The Let Your Hare Down section is for anything non-bunny related.

Here is a link tothat will help you and your bunny to connect, How to Bond with Your Bunny.

Now every forum has rules and ours can be found with this link Rabbits Online Forum Rules. This gives guidelines on what is acceptable, what is not and how we hope everyone will treat each other.

Everyone on this forum loves to see pictures of each other’s bunnies. So if you would like to post a picture this link will help you do that, Upload Photo's to Photo Gallery. Then in the post, you click on the "G" in the tool bar to insert your photo. Many people also use Photobucket. You just copy the img file and paste it into the post.

Don’t hesitate to ask questions and I am glad you have joined rabbits online; I look forward to seeing you around.
