If you are new to the idea of keeping a rabbit indoors, then the concept of houserabbits may seem bizarre. But rabbits adapt very easily to life indoors, using litter trays just like cats and settling happily into the family. Housetraining rabbits is easy - most rabbits get the idea of using a litterbox straight away, although a few take a bit of persuading. Baby rabbits, like puppies, can't be expected to achieve perfect control of their toilet habits straight away - although most will make a pretty good effort, given sympathetic owners who appreciate the rabbit psychology involved. And do bear in mind that trying to keep an un-neutered rabbit indoors once it reaches puberty (4-6 months) is extremely difficult and sometimes impossible. Just like cats, rabbits of both sexes have to be neutered to live indoors successfully. There are two aspects to training the indoor rabbit. Housetraining is usually fairly easy, if you follow the instructions below and have your rabbit neutered immediately it reaches puberty.
