My rabbit holds pee, then goes outside. How to litter train?

Question

hi there! My rabbit started to pee and poop alot outside the cage directly whenever I let her out of the cage . She stopped completely doing it inside the cage. she always hold herself all the day until she gets out which is somehing not good for her health also for me because I have to clean after her because it smells horrible and I dont have much time to do that. I tried to make her stop by returning her into the cage when she does this but no satisfing results. Any suggestions please?!

It sounds like your bunny is quite tidy and doesn't want to soil her cage. She will probably be easy to litter train, and then you will have somewhere in the cage for her to go. Make sure her cage is large enough that she has plenty of room to move around in, and so that her litter tray isn't near her food or water. You can use hay as a litter. To start training her, place her tray where she likes to go when she gets out of the cage. Put some of her poo and urine in the tray so that she knows that is where she needs to go. Once she is consistently using this tray, then move it into the cage. If she stops using it once in the cage, you might need to get her a bigger cage.
