Rabbit litter boxes are gross and messy, hide their toilet so it's not an eye-sore. đ«Łđ©
A quick web search will show you there aren't many options you can buy to hide your rabbit's litter box. In fact, most bun-parents resort to DIYing creative solutions.
Seeking to beautifully live with my own rabbits for years, I've tried various DIY
ideas throughout the fluctuating budgets of my 20âs. From being a broke graduate to a married career woman.
I ended up creating my own custom piece of furniture using my background in design, which we currently use today! You can often find my bunnies, Elvis and Betty, flopping inside, relaxing, munching on hay, all while keeping it all contained and mess-free. If you're interested in upgrading like we did, you can get one for your buns! More on that later below.
Though, I get that not every bun-parent is ready for luxury furniture built just for their rabbit. That's why I put together ideas on how to hide your rabbit's litter box no matter what your budget is!
Our goal at BINK is to help you take rabbits to the next level, regardless if you buy our products. But when you're ready, we'll be here for you! ;)
In the meantime, here's some ideas for hiding your rabbit's litter box for various budgets...Â
Â
1. Random Niche With Curtain ($)
Have a random niche in your home? Use a small tension rod + little curtain clips + a cute piece of fabric. Get creative with it!
When I lived in a micro studio apartment, making sure my rabbitâs litter box didnât take up too much space was crucial. I ended up re-purposing a little niche under the kitchen counter as their hidden litter box zone.
Â
2. Wood Top + Blanket + Dog Crate = Cute Side Table ($$)
Â
Carefully tuck a nice blanket around a dog crate and place a finished wood surface on top. Bam! You've got a side cute table. Great option if your rabbit doesn't like to dig or chew blankets. Super versatile and easy to make your own. You can switch out the blanket with different moods.
Unfortunately, our rabbit Betty loved to dig and pull the blanket, taking everything on our chic âside tableâ down with her.
Â
3. Modify Regular Furniture ($$$)
Buy a piece of furniture that you can easily access the litter box from, like a chest or shoe storage bench. Carefully cut a hole on the side for access. Make sure they are made of rabbit-safe materials and finishes, like untreated kiln dried pine or solid birch or maple with non-toxic finishes.
Â
4. Cat Litter Box Covers ($$$)
Could be a great option if your bunny isnât a chewer. Always make sure the materials and finishes aren't toxic for bunnies. Be wary of furniture made of cheap materials that can be toxic for bunnies (like MDF or particle board). Opt for materials wonât absorb any accidents.Â
Â
5. BINK's Credenza or Bench ($$$$)
Ready to go straight for the perfect set-up for bunnies? This is the world's first litter box cover furniture designed exclusively for free-roam house rabbits!
Hands-down the safest, longest-lasting, and most sophisticated set-up you can buy for modern bunniesânot for your average bunny parent.
I originally designed it as the perfect set-up to hide my bunnies' ugly litter box and drastically cut time cleaning up messy hay. Complete with hidden litter box compartment, built-in hay feeder, and storage cubby. Crafted with an easy-to-clean accident-proof interior and removable doors.
The flooring has friction for furry feet. It's also made with completely rabbit-safe materials and finishes. Approved by Oregon's top rabbit-savvy exotic pet vet.
They come in two sizes, a smaller Bench and a larger Credenza. Built to last for the long life of your rabbit.Â
Â
BINKâs furniture is a unique investment built to last a lifetimeâmade with safety, integrity, and quality in mind.
I built one for my own rabbits and they love to flop inside it. I especially
love that it's made being a rabbit parent so much easier.Â
