[00:00:00] Hey guys, this is Fiona here, The Bunny Coach. Today's tip is all about litter trays. So one of the most common questions I get is people are frustrated because their bunnies are moving aroung their litter trays, tipping their litter trays or just generally kicking the litter everywhere. One of my customers a few weeks ago came to me with a question about her bunnies. So in her bunnies' pen, she had a platform that the bunnies were able to get up on one of her bunnies kept going up. And pooping on there. So she put a litter tray on the top of the platform and the rabbit kept pushing it off. And then she was pooping, still on top of the platform!
So what we did was we put the stone in it from the garden so you can get a garden stone, something that sort of size, just heavy enough that, , it stops the bunny pushing it around. And also, not too heavy that they can injure themselves on it or that it takes up too much space in their litter tray because they don't like that either. So she put a stone into the litter tray and the rabbit wasn't able to push it off anymore. And she started pooping in the litter tray. So that is a really good thing to do if your bunny [00:01:00] flips their litter tray regularly, or if they shove it away and then poop where the litter tray used to be. It's a very easy fix. Hope that helps see you next time.
