Feeding litter and house training
Feeding areas & Litter training
Why rabbits relieve themselves while eating – and how you can cleverly use this behavior.
Eating and digesting simultaneously
Rabbits are naturally built to activate their digestive system while eating. Eating and going to the toilet go hand in hand.
The clever trick
If you offer food high and upright, your rabbit will automatically adopt the correct posture – right where the toilet is located.
Litter training almost automatic
With the right feeding area, you can easily litter train your rabbit – because it doesn't even have to learn it. It simply follows its instinct.
🦴 For the bladder
When eating upright, excess calcium is flushed out more effectively – actively preventing bladder sludge.
💪 For the muscles
Stretching and balancing trains the back and coordination – species-appropriate activity as a side benefit.
The right height
The feeding area should be high enough for your rabbit to stretch – rule of thumb: shoulder height + 5 cm.
Easy to clean
A removable plastic tray makes daily cleaning a breeze – just take out the tray, wipe it, and put it back in.
At least 2 exits
Especially important for multiple rabbits – no animal should be able to be cornered.
