    It’s pretty easy to litter train a bunny. They do intentionally leave territorial poops anyway, but those are hard little balls at the edges and corners of the room, so not too obnoxious.

    The most difficult thing about a free roaming bunny is that the like to chew (it’s more correct to say they have to chew, since their teeth always grow), and getting them to chew what you want them to chew, not what you don’t want, is a challenge.

      We had an accidental bunny once (neighbor was getting rid of her, so we took her), and we wanted to keep her in the house and let her roam, but she wanted to chew everything, especially power cords. So we had to keep her in her hutch outdoors.

      She was super sweet, and we really loved her. I would have another bunny as a pet, but we’d have to prepare by getting obsessive about cable management first.

        The thing we found worked well for cords were those tubes with a split down the side that they sell for cable management. They’re big enough around that the bunny can’t get its mouth and them.

        The harder things for us were wooden chair legs and the like. Basically it was a matter of making sure there were things the bunny preferred to chew around, so the house was strewn with wicker baskets and stuff.
