My rabbits live outside in a hutch outside, 1/2 enclosed for a house, and the other 1/2 is open. They won't go outside, they keep using there house, and it gets REALLY dirty. It gets really hard to clean out, and looks grose.

Hi, well if they will not stop, I think I would try a litter pan in there. Right where they are going.

Put hay or something in the pan, see if they will jump in and go there instead of the floor where they are to sleep.

If they jump in and go, all you have to do is dump and clean the litter box. Just a thought. I'm sure others will have more ideas and solutions.

I know it can be a mess , I have a bunny girl that insists on one corner of the cage. And it piles up in just one day !

I want to act all wise and all-knowing, and helpful, but I don't really know what to say. I like the litter box training idea, I think that would definitely cut down on at least the area of the mess. good luck, and I'm really sorry I can't be more helpful, I have an indoor bunny!

have to clean her everyday. She has a long, nice cage, but sits in one corner also.

Luckily it falls through to a try underneath, but still there is quite a MOUNTIAN of Bunny Balls, LOL

They will now sucessfully use a litter box. Except for a few accidents in the box they use to sleep in.

I've had this little problem before. its not a biggie.
Umm...
Are your rabbits in hutches outside? Or just in little houses on the ground? Explain a little more how you have them housed, cause then I can explain more on what to do.
