Litter Training Your Rabbits
You can start litter training your rabbits as early as you like but you can litter train a rabbit at any age. In fact, it has been suggested that older rabbits can be simpler to train than babies as they are more developed and find learning easier.

You can have your rabbits neutered from four months old.
