Suggestions
-Keep rabbit limited to certain areas in your home.
-Rub bitter apple, or tobasco sauce (R) on things you don't want chewed.
-Keep a spray bottle of water handy, catch them in the act, rabbits don't like being wet.
-Start slow, just for a little bit of time a day.
-Stand ready to seperate at the first sign of conflict
-Never leave the two alone until they're used to each other.
-Treat all animals equally, choosing favorites creates problems.
-Supervise until completely comfortable with the animals together.
-If they don't get along, don't force them to be together, keep them separated.
-watch what corner he uses when he comes out, this is where you'll put the litter box.
-Once your sure he's using the box, you can keep him out for longer periods of time
-Never leave even a house trained rabbit unattended.
-Leave cage door open for access to box.
-If he goes, or starts to go out of the box, pick him up and put him in the box.
-If he goes out of the box, wipe it up, spray with a mixture of vinager and water, and wipe up again. This will discourage him from going there again.
*Note, even a house trained rabbit will sometimes leave droppings around, so watch your step!
