Hi everyone,
I have two outdoor female rabbits that are nearing 6 months old. I have a two storey hutch which is opens to a large run which is currently on the grass. The state of the grass within the run is starting to cause me some concern-I am struggling to keep on top of the amount of poop the rabbits produce (which is deposited all over the place) and combined with the wet weather and hay/straw the run looks muddy and messy.
I wanted to check if I should be concerned or whether this is fine for this time of year. I am assuming in the spring/summer when things have dried up a bit it will be easier to collect everything up and remove it. My garden (I rent) is all grass with a small amount of gravel.
I also thought maybe I could litter train them with a litter box placed in the bottom storey of the hutch. A video I watched said to place some poop on the litter box so the rabbits learn where to go, but they go everywhere so I don't think this would work! Has anyone had any success with litter training outdoor rabbits?
thank you
