Yes, rabbits really should be going that often and in a small cage you should be expecting to empty the litter daily. Rabbits should have hay, available everyday as well as grass and a variety of rabbit friendly fresh or dried herbs, leaves and barks also. Ideally a complete pellet should be offered to prevent the picky eating, these are available supplemented with mint, herbs or dandelions to tempt them
