Regarding the toilet situation of the Netherlands Dwarf,

You have to be careful about the following two points.

 

・ Rabbit decides their favorite place

・ You can only discipline when rabbit is a baby

 

At first, the owner predicts where the Netherlands Dwarf will urinate and installs a toilet.

It’s a good idea to put it in a corner of the cage away from the feeding area, or put sand or paper with the smell of urine.
