Litter trays

Accidents

Young Bun
Just wondering about litter trays. I've seen a plain corner tray. And a corner tray with cover and a metal tray type thing in in.

But I was wondering if there were any trays that had a tray that I could pull out to make cleaning easier?
 
I personally would just use a bog standard cat litter tray. We use wooden litter pellets and hay on top, which are just emptied out and refilled.
If you have larger bunnies, you can use storage boxes - mine love to sit in them and chomp hay!
Corner litter trays can result in bunnies not fitting in properly, and not using them in my experience.
 
Charlie has a corner litter tray, just the bigger one. He's not too big so he fits in it ok :) and uses it pretty much perfectly :)
 
Muppet just has an ordinary cat litter tray (one of the slightly higher-sided ones).

To make it easy to clean, I line it with some newspaper then fill one end with litter and the other with hay (he only ever sits at one end!). Then to clean it all I have to do is lift the paper out: easy! :D (I do wash it as well: small bucket of soapy water, pour some in, swill it around, empty, pour/swill/empty til water used up. Leave it to dripdry or dry with kitchen towel. Over in minutes!)
 
Teddy has a large cat litter tray with a top thing that stops the stuff goign over the sides so much... they come in 3 different sizes and he has the medium one. It was huge to him when he first got here, but only just under 2 months on and he fits it well!
