My 6 month old rabbit has recently forgot how to use his litter box what up with that?
Puberty. When a male rabbit reaches 6 months and is not neutered his hormones will be at their peak.The reason a rabbit will then start marking with urine is territorial.

Where is the best place to let your rabbit use the bathroom?
In the litter box.Give your bunny a litter box. It can be a cat's litter box. Put it in the bunny's cage. If the bunny already uses a particular spot, put it there.(If your rabbit's cage is too small for a litter box, then it's too small anyway and you should look for something bigger. Rabbits need to stretch and hop! There are lots of cages in pet stores that are too small, so you have to be a smart consumer.)You might want a second litter box for out in the room, if the rabbit has a spot out in the room that she likes to use, too.Put hay in the bunny's litter box(es). Rabbits like to graze, so it makes them feel comfortable. It encourages litter box use, and hay eating, both good things!Keep the box clean. Scoop out soiled litter often (daily or so); completely replace the litter regularly (monthly or so); and wash the box out as needed (at least once a year, or more often if the bottom is soiled). If it smells, it needs cleaning. Rabbits are clean animals and don't smell, if you keep things clean (and if they're healthy).Don't use cat litter (clay-based). It is very bad for a rabbit's respiration, and if the bunny eats any it can lead to deadly illness. Don't use wheat or corn-based litterseither, because they're very unhealthy (high in starch). It's common for rabbits to nibble when they use the bathroom, so any litter material should be safe to eat. Safe options include:Store brands: Carefresh, Yesterday's News, BoxoNewspaperHay or strawAspen wood chips/shavings - many experts say not to use cedar or pine, because they may be toxicWood stove pellets - often available in hardware stores - make sure you get the plain kind, not the kind with accelerant or other chemicals on them

How do you potty train a rabbit?
Well, all rabbits learn at a different speed. Some learn very fast, but for some it takes a while. To potty train a rabbit, there are different steps. 1. You must put out in a box that the rabbit likes to pee or poop in. (Some bunnies like to poop and pee in corners of their hutch, like mine.) 2. You also may want to put rabbit litter in if you think that you need it. 3. Wherever your rabbit poops, pick up the poop and put it in the litter box. 4. If you think or know that you bunny is about to have an accident, then put them in the box until he/she goes to the bathroom. 5. Do these steps until your bunny is potty trained, and don't stop, even if it feels like there is no hope. Although some rabbits will not always follow through with this, most will. My bunnies learned that way, and now their hutch is MUCH easier to clean! =)

Rabbits can be trained to use a litter box like cats, and you can use the same kind of litter box for both animals but you can't use the same kind of litter material.

Rabbits must use a safe litter material like Carefresh, Yesterday's News, Boxo, etc. Many rabbits litter train easily: just give them a litter box and they will use it.

Can a rabbit litter box be a cardboard box?
You cannot use a cardboard box that is a full square with a hole in it. That is more commonly used for a little playhouse/privacy for your rabbit. You can use a lid of a cardboard box, but shorten it for the size of your rabbit's size. Place a small wooden block for your rabbit to gnaw on, as he/she might nibble the cardboard ( so the block is distracting the rabbit. ). Be sure to put some rabbit treats in the litter box (if it is the rabbits first time using one) so he/she makes it an often place to use. I have a rabbit myself X) ! Sorry if i went on.
