    I get confused every time I see the word “chuffed” because i have no idea if becoming chuffed is a good or bad thing.

      It’s mostly delighted or pleased, although it can occasionally mean the opposite, especially in the military. I believe it started off as “proud.” This bunny is delighted and proud of his new rug.

      I’m amazed he knows how to use a litterbox and not just poop everywhere. That’s probably how he earned his nice rug!

        Apparently it’s a thing you can train them to do with a bit of effort. You cna train some birds too.

      Chuffed is slang for very pleased in the UK. More specifically it’s when something good has just happened to you that’s causing you to grin uncontrollably like a lunatic.

      As my crude father would say: “I’m chuffed to buggery!”

      Although buggery is a bad thing on its own, when combined with chuffed it’s like a +1 enchantment instead.

      “Chuff” in the context of rock climbing = bad, made an effort but didn’t get very far / fell a lot

      I mean at the risk of being “whooshed”

      The rug is to prevent staining the carpet, and if I was them I would actually have a plastic layer between the rug/carpet.

      The hay mat is going to be MONCHED.

        If it were contained in some way, that would make sense to me, but it’s free to roam as far as I can see. As for the hay mat, that still seems strange to me, but fair enough.

          I’ve got a couple guinea pigs. one assumes the tarp is the limit of his territory, whether or not there’s fencing.

          the other one regularly goes wandering, but respects the areas I’ve said are off limits. and she knows she has to get back to her territory - the tarp - to get any treats.

          so it’s entirely possible this bunny recognizes his “room”, as defined by the new rug.

          So he looks litter trained based on the box, so my “guess” is it’s to help keep any related stains to this carpet, same you don’t wanna put you litter box on a carpet for a cat, also if all his toys/food are on the rug, he’ll probably stay on the rug most of the time.

          Just a guess though.

            TIL you can litter train a bunny, really wish I knew that growing up since my family had a pet bunny when I was young and had to constantly clean up after it. I was wondering how anyone could do this with a bunny shitting all over the house.

              I was going to say “Oh you can potty train any mammal!”

              Then I remembered Pandas exist… sooo I’ll just say “Most mammals have had examples of them being potty trained”

                but you can’t train it to poo?

    How do you train bunny to use litter box. How do you train cats to use litter boxes, for that matter.

      Rabbits I’m not sure. Cats naturally want to bury their leavings, so they actually train themselves just fine. Show them where it is, keep it clean, and 99% of the time that’s that.

      You just toss the cat into the litter box after setting it up and they’re like “this is fucking rad, dude! Thanks! Now leave me alone to do my bidness”.

      I have never litter trained a baby rabbit, but they generally just poop where there is hay.

      Sometimes it is also helpful to pick up their droppings and put it in the litterbox, but it is largely not necessary.
