Cats get frustrated if they can&#8217;t cover, so if the litter is too shallow, that could cause more kicking and spreading because the cat just wants more litter to be able to bury her elimination deeper.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_do_cats_throw_litter_out_of_the_box\"><\/span>Why do cats throw litter out of the box?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>Litter Box with Screen or Plastic Grate<\/b> They don&#8217;t irritate the paws and reduce the amount of litter waste. Urine flows through the grate and gets absorbed by the bedding, poop stays on top to be easily discarded or collected as fertilizer.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Should_rabbit_litter_boxes_have_a_grate\"><\/span>Should rabbit litter boxes have a grate?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>We recommend using <b>CareFresh (a rabbit-safe pet bedding that does not contain any pine or cedar products) and fresh hay to prepare your bunny&#8217;s litter box. Spread one inch of clean CareFresh covering the bottom of the pan, then add a big handful of hay. Remember to use rabbit-safe litters in your bunny&#8217;s box.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Should_rabbit_litter_box_have_a_grate\"><\/span>Should rabbit litter box have a grate?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>FuJoe is right, wire floors are bad, but <b>if the wire grate or screen is for JUST for the litterbox then it should be okay. Unless your bunny likes to hang out most of the time in it or you have a rex.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_can_I_put_under_my_litter_box\"><\/span>What can I put under my litter box?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The mat should be easy to clean. One ideal choice is <b>a piece of carpet that can be easily vacuumed or picked up and shaken outside. A carpet remnant can be a great choice. Commercial litter box mats are made often of plastic and have a pile that catches litter so it doesn&#8217;t attach to your cat&#8217;s paws.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_you_make_a_homemade_rabbit_litter_box\"><\/span>How do you make a homemade rabbit litter box?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It might sound funny, but <b>a cheap plastic colander or strainer set can work wonders as a litter box for a rabbit. Look for a cheap plastic colander and bowl set at a department store or online. The top portion is the colander (bowl with holes in it), and the bottom part is the bowl.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_make_a_litter_tray\"><\/span>Can I make a litter tray?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Cut the potty pad to size and place it in the bottom of the box. Trim it to fit. If your cat likes to scratch in his litter, use a couple of small pieces of duct tape to anchor the potty pad. Don&#8217;t put a lot of litter in the box; you just need enough to absorb what the cat does.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Table of Contents How do you make a grate for a litter box?Why do cats throw litter out of the box?Should rabbit litter boxes have a grate?Should rabbit litter box have a grate?What can I put under my litter box?How do you make a homemade rabbit litter box?Can I make a litter tray?
