My, admittedly limited, experience with indoor rabbits is kinda. Ours didn’t train well but they would pick a spot in the house and only ever go there. So we’d just put a box in that spot and was good to go. Sometimes we’d have to move the box and I’d say it was 50/50 if they actually followed it or stuck to their spot
For peeing, anyway, yes! They’re very clean animals! I didn’t even have to actually train mine; they just used theirs on their own!
For poop, well…they just go wherever. But they also need to re-eat it, so I suppose it makes sense. And they’re more like hard, round balls, so it’s easy to clean up when needed.
The hard poops - dry little balls - they often go wherever, but the soft poops - cecotropes - rabbits usually poop those straight into their mouths (gross I know). So you rarely see those as they usually just eat it right as soon as it’s coming out.
My two rabbits back in the day always peed in their litter boxes, but we’d often have to vacuum up their dry poops, which were usually right around their living areas mostly. And for the cecotropes (soft poops), we usually didn’t see those unless the rabbit was feeling sick. Since normally they go right back through their digestive system for a second pass.
Technically they prefer to poop in clean-smelling litterboxes, like cats, so predators won’t be able to find them. But they also tend to stop giving a shit about that at some point once they realize their human will clean up after them anyway.
At least they don’t pee on each other to establish dominance lol
Yes. You can potty train every rabbit. They will soft poop and pee in it religiously. Hard poops are hit or miss and their diet actually is better if they eat them anyway
Is that a litter box? Can you potty train rabbits???

Kinda. It depends on the rabbit and they don’t always use it.

i dont think i like rabbits as much anymore
I have learned a LOT about rabbits today.
I’m surprised I’ve never seen Bugs Bunny do any of this

Some you can, yes.
I didn’t believe it until I watched it with my own eyes.
You can! I use pee pads for mine (easier to clean.)
But they like pooping while eating, so you have to put their food in a way that works for both haha
I too would like to know!
For pee, yes. For poops, not so much lol.
