My Quest for a RabbitFriendly Litter Box By Will Leung

Rabbits are unique. They are special. They are different - and they deserve their special litter box. As the saying goes, necessity is the mother of invention. My particular necessity was the need to stop cleaning the litter box every day. I looked at all the hay and litter I wasted. Bunnysafe litter is just so expensive. So I thought: I wish I could use kitty litter, but I don't want my rabbits lying in it. I need something to separate the litter from the hay. This would reduce the amount of wasted wet hay and litter. Maybe something was out there that would work. I decided to look around. I discovered a paperbased kitty litter that that would fall through a grating in a twolayer litter box. Only the soiled litter needed to be cleaned from underneath. Okay, so the idea was there, but the grating on the separation layer had gaps that were too large for bunny toes, which could get caught and injured. I kept looking.

I searched online using key words like drainage layer, ” and I came across some foodservice products that seemed to have potential. So I bought these products and experimented with them, and they worked.

The twolayer litterbox apparatus was essentially a colander - a big one that was quite expensive for me to assemble. For my own rabbits, it might be fine, but for many rabbit owners the cost would be prohibitive.

I thought that having a rabbitspecific litter box might help educate people about rabbits and litter boxes. During my time as a volunteer with Rabbit Rescue & Rehab, I had met many rabbit owners who had no idea that their rabbits could use litter boxes.

I wanted to come up with a less expensive alternative to keep rabbits healthier and cleaner while saving money by reducing the amount of litter used. I came up with an improved prototype.

Having tested my invention for a month or two, I was convinced it worked. But I needed more opinions, so I distributed some of the twolayer litter boxes to other volunteers so that they could test them out with their own rabbits at home, as well as at the shelter.

Most bunny and human reviews were positive. People found that they didn't have to change litter as often, and they

I've had a really stressful summer. Two of my bunnies (Mopsy and Robin) have had numerous health challenges, and I changed careers. In leaving my longtime profession as an attorney in private practice in order to follow my passion for animals by working in communications for an animal welfare organization, I was doing exactly what I had wanted to do. Nevertheless, change is scary.

Of course, it was important to start my new job on a good note and establish a rapport with my colleagues. So, when I was encouraged to bring in my bunnies to pose with me for my official staff photo, I jumped at the chance. After all, what better way to make friends than to have my coworkers meet two of my outgoing daughters - the irrepressible Goldie Lochs Brooklyn and Queenie KittyKat Houdini?

Since I work for an animal nonprofit, employees usually hold their pets (almost always dogs or cats ) for their official employee photos. Bunnies are novelties.

This staff photograph did induce some guilt since I felt like I was choosing two of my kids over the other two. I have

were using less hay, all of which saved money. My biggest concern became the weight of the litter boxes.

The search continued as I tried to find an online source for a better litter box that could be imported into the U.s. I found something that was 80% of what I wanted. I placed an order for an initial batch.

And now, finally, after almost six months of work, I have something to offer to the rabbit community. For more information you can email me at rabbitlitterbox@gmail.com

She was left behind at her owner's job when he up and left one day without warning. Not wanting to be bothered with her, a coworker brought her to Manhattan Animal Care & Control. Suzi was grossly overweight from lack of exercise, and I also suspected that she ate out of boredom. Urinescalded and with sore hocks, she could barely hop. Together with what appeared to be huge multiple masses on her abdomen, Suzi's chances of adoption were slim to none. But I could see in her eyes a kindness and a will to live, and I decided right then and there I would bring her home and let her live her life out.

Although I did not need another bun in the house, I was sure I could bond her with one of my pairs. Rosa and TJ were what seemed to be the best bet. Sure enough, our hallway bonding sessions

my voracious bunnies ' teeth. There was one other area where I could see cords, but it was only a threeinch or so opening, so I wasn't concerned since my girls weigh approximately six pounds each and there was no way either could squeeze through the opening. In an abundance of caution, I crammed four pairs of shoes vertically through the narrow opening.

All day, I had a steady stream of visitors, some of whom I had not met before. Everyone in the office wanted to meet the bunnies, and my girls didn't disappoint. They were sweet and social and acted like little angels. More than one person remarked that they had never seen rabbits like them. Some people told me that they had rabbits when they were children, but that their rabbits wouldn't allow them to be picked up or held, whereas Goldie and Queenie are unusual in that they enjoy being held and don't mind being picked up at all. The day was going just as I had dreamed it would. I was making new friends, and my bunnies were acting as ambassadors for rabbits everywhere.

I admit that it was hard for me to get my work done, as I really just wanted to sit on the floor and cuddle my bunnies all day. I brought my lunch in so that I wouldn't have to leave the girls.

For the most part, things at my new job have gone smoothly. One area that has required effort is learning the new computer and phone systems, so when I returned to my office after a meeting to find my computer not working, I didn't even initially think to blame my girls. I tried to call the computer help desk, but then found my phone wasn't working either. Uhoh. You can guess where this is going.

I should mention that while Goldie and Queenie are the cutest, sweetest and most intelligent bunnies on earth, sometimes I am blinded to the fact that these two little girls seem to attract trouble. They just can't help themselves. Whenever their wonderful bunnysitter, Jane O'Wyatt, emails me reports about my bunnies when I am traveling, she often notes that Goldie and Queenie made her laugh. Jane is so polite that she would never accuse a bunny of being naughty, and I often wonder what on earth the girls have done. But it's all part of their charm.

My girls, like their mom, have never had a thing for shoes. That is, until the day I brought Goldie and Queenie to work. It seems that while I was in my meeting, my girls picked up every single one of the eight shoes that I had wedged in the tiny opening between my desk and the wall, so that they could get to my juicy cords. These were shoes that were nearly as big as they are.

I still don't know how they squeezed through the opening to get to those cords. And I can only tell this story because I got very, very lucky and my bunnies didn't electrocute themselves. They seemed fine, even pleased, by their work. I thought I had vigilantly bunnyproofed, but clearly I failed, because they had snipped the cords to my computer monitor and telephone. I am so thankful that Goldie and Queenie were not hurt. I never would have forgiven myself.

My office has a wall of windows, and one of my colleagues later told me that she had looked in and had seen my girls throwing all my shoes around. She thought it was so cute and that they must like to play with shoes. Ugh.

I nearly had a heart attack when I had to borrow someone 's phone to notify the computer help desk that my phone and computer weren't working. Thoughts of losing my job during my second week before I'd even had a chance to have my official photo taken crossed my mind. Luckily, I was not fired or reprimanded. But my girls have become legends of sorts. Now I realize that it isn't always such a good idea to take your daughters to work.

Heppi Bunnycakes Ket Puppy Handox

Alaine and Nick adopted Happy and gave her a new, distinctive name. They sent this update in early September.

Two years ago, Nick and I talked about adopting a bunny as a companion pet. We noticed that the Petco at Union Square had bunnies available for adoption. That's where we met Marcie, who gave us a lot of literature and information on how to care for a bunny.

We knew that we couldn't have a bunny just yet because the floors in our home then were granite and our landlords wouldn't allow us to have a pet.

Finally it came time find a bunny. We went up to the shelter and met three lop bunnies, but Happy stood out to us because she turned to mush when we petted her little head and she loved the petting. We came back the next day to play with her in the exercise pen. We wanted to be sure that Happy was the right bunny for us. I spent the entire time petting her and fell in love with her smooshy demeanor.

A week later, she came home with us. She spends her days lounging around, eating her hay from the three litter boxes, drinking ice water, loving the daily bunny massages, doing binkies in the hall, and trying a wide range of green veggies from the green market.

We renamed Happy to Heppi Bunnycakes

We visited the bunnies at the Petco in Union Square and on the Upper East Side, did research on how to care for a bunny, and watched bunny videos on YouTube. One of our favorite websites is Daily Bunny !

Fandango and Sherlock.

Sherlock and Fandango
Jason and Daniela adopted Sherlock as a partner bunny for Fandango. They sent us this email in midSeptember.

Almost two years ago, my girlfriend and I added Fandango to our small family. Fandango is a cute, independent bunny who loves to stand on her hind legs and eat pellets. When she 's not doing this, you are most likely to find her reexploring our apartment (to make sure nothing's changed over the last 24 hours ), hiding Ket Puppy Handox and created a Facebook page just for her so we can upload videos and pictures to share with other bunny lovers out there. Feel free to like ” her on Facebook.

in a cardboard box, or digging away in a corner somewhere. She 's been the furriest Christmas gift either of us has ever had and a pleasure to adopt.

A month ago, we decided to grow our family by +1 bunny … enter Sherlock! Sherlock is the polar opposite of Fandango. While Fandango views the wooden floors in our apartment as a terrain that needs to be carefully studied before crossing, Sherlock dashes across like a little kid on a Slip 'N Slide. While Fandango loves her independence and is too busy exploring to stop for a quick petdown, Sherlock voluntarily positions his McDonald 'ssize butt up in the air so that you can pet him for hours.

They 've been bonding for a month now and are really starting to get accustomed to each other. Before, Fandango liked to ignore Sherlock. She would rather dig in a corner or sniff a wall than have anything to do with him. However Sherlock, like

my girlfriend, Daniela, craves attention and wouldn't stand for this. So when Fandango wasn't looking, Sherlock would intentionally place his head under her belly so that she would have to acknowledge his presence. Eventually, she succumbed to his tricks and gave in. She now readily accepts Sherlock as a dinner date, and licks his ears whenever he wishes to be groomed.

Fandango and Sherlock have been wonderful additions to our family. Thank you, Erin, Cindy and Amy, for assisting us with our adoptions and helping us complete our little family.

Oreo and Peanut.
Bets y adopted Peanut as a partner for Oreo. Here is an email Betsy sent to Cindy Stutts in September.

Hi Cindy,
In April 2010, our Holland lop Oreo's companion died (possibly, a metastasis from a tumor removed in November 2009). They weren't sisters, but had been together since late 2005, when both were very young.

In September 2010, Oreo's tail was pulled off by another rabbit. The local vet repaired her back end, but didn't replace the tail. Over the next 10 months, we struggled to grow clean new fur in that area. Some of that time was needed Peanut, acknowledging that our daughter's bunny, Nutella, who is bonded with a lop named Tango, also has a nutrelated

name and looks very much like him). We began the bonding process, which went well.

I called Dr. Saver again in early July, to ask about Oreo's urine scald, and she asked : is the litter box dry, and does she

hike her butt” to pee ? At that time, the problem had cleared up, and I really wanted to keep it that way. Also, by that time, Oreo and Peanut were good together when in the bonding spaces (our bathrooms ), and even in her cage together, so I stopped the bonding sessions, and left them loose in the house during the day (and in their own cages at night). Oreo still stayed close to her cage, but Peanut would hang out on the other side of our living room.

By the end of July, Oreo's back end was a mess, yet again. I began washing her morning and evening to keep it from getting worse, but things weren't going well.

About that time, we had dinner with our nextdoor neighbor, a pediatrician. We take care of each other's critters on occasion, and she asked about the bunnies. I told her about Oreo's urine scald. She said, When children who are pottytrained become incontinent, it is usually behavioral.”

Autumn was adopted by Sarah Park to be a partner bun for her rabbit Sonny. Sarah sent this note to volunteer Alisa Christopher in early September.

Hi Alisa,

Thanks for the goodies yesterday. I think Autumn is starting to get used to the new environment. I attached some pictures of her. I thought you'd like to see how she 's doing.

I would love to get information about the litter box and the websites that you mentioned.

Thanks,

Sarah for the injury to heal, but at some point, the problem became urine scald rather than the wound itself. The urine scald cleared up in March, which was around when she bonded with Yam (a bunny chosen at a speeddating session in December). Also around then, Dr. Jennifer Saver checked Oreo and determined there was no physical reason that we should be having this problem.

Then, in early May, Yam got a fever and died rather suddenly.

By the time we came to consider speeddating in June, Oreo's back end was a mess again.

She chose Dexter. I felt I saw an extra bounce in her hopping when they were dating. (We have changed his name to The next day, I reviewed the situation, and a behavioral explanation seemed plausible. When Oreo felt bonded, she was hiking her butt, ” but when she was lonely, she didn't bother.

So we began bonding sessions again. After putting Oreo and Peanut in the same cage overnight (and sleeping beside it, so I would hear any problem; there was none ), I began keeping them together in our smaller bathroom overnight and in the larger one during the day.

By the end of August, Oreo was clean and dry and staying that way. I added the hallway to their daytime space, and now, they DO hang out together all day, in that space. Now, we 've expanded their

(Continued on page 25)

play area to a bedroom, and keep them together in the small bathroom at night.

Obviously, I will carefully and slowly add to the size of their space, so that Oreo doesn't feel deserted again.

Having a bonded bunny companion as well. His favorite early morning activity is to push around his food bowl (quite loudly ) to remind us that he is the most important person and is hungry. Then again, he 's always hungry. His favorite snacks are kale, parsley, basil and cilantro, and occasionally grapes, carrots or honeydew.

(He does not like green bell peppers, though, and gives us a very disapproving face Kelsey. made all the difference. when those are offered.) He communicates very well, even occasionally growling when feeling especially impatient. But his soft side is just as overwhelming; he loves to snuggle up close on the carpet for naps, he gives little rabbit kisses on the nose, and he 's never nibbled on our fingers. He enjoys full body massages and designer pillows to lounge on. We really enjoy having Peter in our home.

Thanks again, Marcie, for all your great advice on adopting Peter. We felt really confident about bringing him home, mainly due to all your work in preparing us. All your information and tips on nail clipping, handling, vet visits, rabbitproofing (and he does like phone chargers ), dietary needs, litterbox training (he 's a pro, and he 's always out of his pen all day with no mistakes ), hay (FarmerDave 's is great), and toy ideas have been so helpful. Of course, we continue to learn through the HRs website, and are truly happy to be Peter's forever family.

Sincerely,

Scott Sablan and Ross Brill

Kelsey

Tracy Nuzzo, who adopted Kelsey at the end of January, sent us this letter in early August.

When I got Kelsey at the end of January, it was estimated that he was two and a half. Dr. Pilny confirmed that, saying he couldn't be sure of Kelsey 's exact age, but 2.5 seemed about right. With that info, I arbitrarily assigned him a birthday (what bunny doesn't have a proper birthday ??). Back then, I decided the first of the month was the best. Mine is Feb. 1 so Kelsey could be exactly six months later: Aug. 1.

This past Monday was Kelsey 's new birthday, and it was great. Kelsey got lots and lots of cupcakes from Magnolia Bakery and gave them to our neighbors, doormen and everyone else who loves him. In return, he was gifted with so much dill, cilantro, dandelion and his absolute favorite, a pear! I had to clear a new section of the fridge for Kelsey 's loot. Kelsey also got toys and a brand new plastic slinky that he loves to hate. He pulls on it with his teeth, it stretches bigger, and he looks over his shoulder, in disbelief.

All in all, Kelsey had a terrific birthday and he is loving his new pen.

I still take Kman wherever I go, but sometimes I think it may be too warm for him so I opt to leave him home, with the air conditioning on and the TV on Top Chef.” When I return, I always find him waiting for me, on my pillow. He 's such a cutie.

My parents, who long ago gave up on the prospect of grandchildren due to my flying career, always call and ask about their grandbunny.” Kelsey is more than just a family member. He really is loved by so many in my building and random people we meet in our daily travels.

I try to remember my life before Kelsey, but it wasn't as rich as it is now. On a bad day, I can come home and hug Kelsey, and on a good day, everything is twice as good just because he 's here. Who would think a threepound rabbit could have such a tremendous impact? You know, when I saw Kelsey on the Internet and made the decision to meet him, I thought I could give him a lot of love and a good home. Turns out, it's just not home without Kelsey, and instead, he 's given me sooooo much!

Warmest regards, tracy + kelsey Thank you for your matchmaking, Cindy. It does matter!

Blessings, Betsy BakerSmith

Peter

Scott and Ross adopted Peter, formerly known as Johnny, about a year ago. They sent Marcie Frishberg this letter in September.
Hi, Marcie,
Peter joined our household about one year ago and, since we first brought him home, continues to surprise us. He is incredibly smart, very opinionated (he 's an Aries ), and loves to be the center of attention. We call the living room Peter's Room” because it basically is. He loves to binky around the fully carpeted floor, visit with his guineapig neighbors, keep tabs on us in the other rooms, tunnel through (or jump onto) the furniture, and stretch out for lots of great naps. Peter already was a large bunny when we adopted him, but now he stretches almost three feet long from front to back when he 's super comfortable.

We have come to know Peter as a very distinctive personality within our home, and he has come to know and enjoy us
