I have two rabbits who are siblings - a boy and a girl. Both are neutered. They have a triangular corner litter tray which i fill with a mixture of natural recucled cat litter and clay. In the winter they live in an indoor hutch with the same litter tray, and they use it without a problem. When they go outside however in a two-storey hutch Poppy the girl promptly throws all litter out of the tray into the hutch. It makes a big mess in the cage which they then have to sit in and they still use the tray without litter in, making it very messy smelly and unhygienic, attracting flies. I have tried everything I can think of, but I just don't know why she does it! Any help much appreciated as it is becoming a problem.

I can't really help because the first time we put the litter tray in Leo's cage he tipped it over so we took it out for a few days put it back in and he used it no problem. Then we moved him out of the cage and he uses it no problem.

We had the same problem but your best bet is to create some sort of holder or lock down device so that is is easy for you to open and empty but not easy for the rabbits to upturn.
It is possible to do even with a wedge of wood nailed to the wall that twists over the edge of the tray.
Hope that helps.

yeh thank you. the litter tray is attatched to the wall by a hook, and they don't upturn the litter tray, they just chuck the contents all over their cage! do you mean something that enables them to use it still but stops the content flying everywhere? because that would be useful. i've heard it been suggested that a wire rack cake stand is used to cover the litter tray, but i'm unsure of this.

Could you maybe get a small covered cat litter tray or would that be too big? That might help.

i use a storage box as a litter tray for mine. it measures about 16''x12''and about 6'' high. if they tend to dig its high enough for it not to come over the side

thanks for all your help. I will try to find a small enough cat litter tray, and if that fails, a highsided box. Thanks
