Not only cats but also small pets (rabbits, cavies, etc.) can be litter-trained with perseverance and patience. Right steps must be taken, though.
While small pets can use cat litter, know that some chemicals in them may be toxic to these pets as they tend to chew on their litter. Too much dust in some litters may also get inhaled and endanger pocket pets, so choose the best litter for a particular animal and its preferences. The litter you use must feel comfortable and natural. Hay litters peat moss, shredded papers, and pressed woods are great for rabbits.
The litter box must be appropriate for the size of your pet. Also, consider that some animals stretch out their bodies in their litter box. Litter boxes may have additional newspaper layers at the bottom to absorb urine and slow down the time of getting the litter soaked up. The box should be in the cage's corner or the area where the animal likes to pee/poop.
Persistent litter box issues should warrant an appointment with an animal clinic Tampa, FL to make sure that your pet’s behavior is not caused by an underlying health issue.
