Rabbit Litter Trays
Most people are surprised to learn that rabbits can be litter-trained, often quite easily once they are neutered and the setup works with their instincts rather than against them. This range covers trays sized for buns, with guidance on the hay-and-litter combination, safe substrates and where to put the tray for the best results.

Rabbits really can be litter-trained
Rabbits naturally choose one or two corners as a toilet, which is exactly what makes training feasible — you are simply putting a tray where your rabbit has already decided to go. Neutering makes an enormous difference, as intact rabbits are far more inclined to scatter droppings to mark territory, so spaying or castration is the foundation of reliable habits.
The clever trick is that rabbits like to eat and toilet at the same time. Place a generous pile of hay at one end of the tray, or a hay rack just above it, and your bunny will happily settle in to munch while it goes. Pop any stray droppings into the tray during the first weeks to reinforce the idea, and accidents usually fade quickly.
Safe litters & placement
Litter choice matters for safety. Use paper-based pellets, compressed paper or kiln-dried wood pellets, all of which are absorbent and safe if nibbled. Avoid clumping cat litter and traditional clay entirely — rabbits often taste their litter, and clumping types can swell and cause dangerous internal blockages. Skip strongly scented cat litters too.
Size and placement do the rest. Choose a tray big enough for your rabbit to turn around in comfortably, with a low entry for older or larger buns, and start it in their chosen corner. Once one tray is reliable you can add a second in a free-roam area, then gradually shrink the litter footprint as habits settle.
Everything here is chosen to be genuinely useful in everyday life with your pet — quality-checked, fairly priced and shipped tracked across the UK. For any health concern, your vet is always the best first port of call.
Common questions
Can rabbits be litter-trained?
Yes. Rabbits naturally toilet in a corner, so placing a tray there — ideally after neutering — makes training straightforward for most buns.
What litter is safe for rabbits?
Paper-based pellets, compressed paper or kiln-dried wood pellets are safe. Never use clumping or clay cat litter, which can cause blockages if eaten.
Why put hay in the litter tray?
Rabbits like to eat and toilet at once, so a pile of hay at one end of the tray encourages them to use it and supports the constant grazing their gut needs.
