Will they ever pick a potty corner?

LOL We all have a tendency to get off track but look at all the cool stuff we learn in the process.

My new rex colony is a mess! Poo everywhere! And pee too! About the only place they dont pee is at the feeder but they do make plenty of pellets.

Is it a case of they just need to settle into the place or will they always just go at random? In their cages, before the freedom of the colony, they used the same corner every time so I wasnt expecting such a mess now.

Mine had taken about 4-6 weeks to start going in the litter box. It sucks but all you can do is clean up around the area and hope they get it down soon.

All mine took no longer than two weeks to get the litter box training down. My Flemish got it in 2 days.

I would think moving a rabbit from a crate, which they probably already marked for their territory (rabbits are very fond of marking territory) and moving this rabbit into a bigger enclosure with other rabbits, that the mass marking would begin. Once they all settled down, I would think that they would pick their corner. Messy time, but marking is part of a rabbits nature.
