A new rabbit owner was asking me about my bunnies littertray. So i have to dig some photos i shared in one of the local forum i joined last 3 years.
I have 12 bunnies in 10 separate cages in the Rabbit Room. I cant afford buying expensive littertray with grill on top, so I DIY them myself.
These are what u need for your DIY littertray :
♦ Cheap plastic trays, RM2-3 each from Kedai RM2 or HappyHome Shop nearby.
♦ Wiremesh/net. U can easily get it from hardware shop, RM6-8/meter. 1 meter can make 6 littertrays depend on the tray’s size.
♦ Wire cutter to cut the wiremesh/net
Cut the wiremesh. Make it bigger than the littertray.
Bend the each end of the wiremesh. This is to prevent your bunny from step into their urine.
Taraaaaaa! A simple littertray with grill on top! Easy rite?
I don’t use any litter material or bedding in the littertray.But if u’re using bedding material like Woodypet, u can use a wire net and put it on top of the bedding to prevent the bedding from kick out of the tray.
To maintain the littertray to be as clean as new : Soak the littertray with vinegar for 10-15 minutes once a week or at least 2 weeks once to get rid the urine stain. Then scrub and wash with mild detergent 🙂

Hi, I was wondering if the mesh will hurt there feet. i have read that a cage with a wire floor is harmfull to their feet so i was wondering how this would be different.
Hi Rachel, I believe the problem with wire netting/mesh is when the rabbit is on it constantly. Keeping a rabbit in one of those cages with a wire bottom is not good for the rabbit, leading to pain and injury, because there’s no relief. A situation like this I would think poses no problem — assuming the rabbit’s nails are kept trimmed (that’s another risk with wire flooring — caught and torn nails; but that can be prevented with regular grooming). I have seen this style of litter box sold in stores and I’ve never heard anyone warn against them. Just my two cents!
Excellent, excellent, I was searching for a DIY as my wanna be furball is a lionhead with long furr, and here they do not sell at all grilled litterboxes.
Thank you for sharing Megan
