Be careful about the size of the bowl you choose for your rabbit’s litterbox. A larger bowl is ideal, but make sure the sides are low enough for your rabbit to get into the bowl.
You will need to dump out the entire contents of the bowl when you empty it each day. Keep a supply of plastic bags on hand if you want to line the bowl.

Never use clay, cedar, or pine litter in a rabbit’s litterbox. The dust and fumes from these types of litter can be hazardous to your bunny.
Be sure to set the colander and bowl litterbox outside of your rabbit’s enclosure if it will be roaming outside its box for a while.
Ask for a used mushroom box in the produce department of your local grocery store if you want to make a plastic grid. If you want to make a wire grid, purchase a fluorescent light fixture cover in a hardware store. You can purchase other types of grids, but make sure that the wire or plastic is not too wide and that it has a smooth surface. Bunnies can injure their feet if they get caught on a jagged wire or if they get a foot stuck in 1 of the openings.
Make sure to wear safety goggles to cut a wire grid. Cut through 1 piece of wire at a time and keep the cuts straight to avoid making any sharp edges in the grid.
Avoid clay, pine, and cedar litters. These litters can produce dust and fumes that may be hazardous to your bunny.
Rabbits love Timothy hay, so give your rabbit this kind if possible!
Make sure to take the box out of the enclosure for your rabbit to use when it is playing outside of its cage.
