How to litter train & harness a rabbit? Is pine bedding safe for them?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Small Animal | Rabbit | Male | unneutered | 9 months and 27 days old | 12 lbs

Do you have any suggestions for litter box or harness training. Also, can I use pine shavings for their bedding as it is not a red wood?

Thanks for reaching out about Vincent. Adding timothy hay to the litter pan might encourage use. When you see him urine out of the box, pick her up and place her in the box. Give a treat is urines or defecates. Pine shaving should be okay but paper products less dusty. Good luck.
