Rabbits will create their own nests so you need only provide the materials, outside of the box for them to create it.

They will make the nest from hay and fur.

So, provide plenty of extra hay and straw, you could also provide newspaper... they of course will supply their own fur. But you could help this along by saving hair that you have groomed from them in the last few weeks and putting that in the area of the nest box also.

Hey!Wild baby bunnies should be kept outside as much as posable, because it's there natural habitat outside, but if you want theminside, they can be inside. All you have to use for bedding is.. Dry hay and grass.. the grass is opptinal.

Do roosters use a nesting box?

No The only time I have seen a rooster in a nesting box was when it was sick or injured. The nesting boxes are used for "nesting". Laying eggs or when brooding. The roosters do not do this. If you have a rooster doing this there is something wrong. He is either being harassed by another rooster in the flock or he is hurt or sick. It is easier to protect themselves from harm when in a "sheltered" place.


Can a rabbit litter box be a cardboard box?

You cannot use a cardboard box that is a full square with a hole in it. That is more commonly used for a little playhouse/privacy for your rabbit. You can use a lid of a cardboard box, but shorten it for the size of your rabbit's size. Place a small wooden block for your rabbit to gnaw on, as he/she might nibble the cardboard ( so the block is distracting the rabbit. ). Be sure to put some rabbit treats in the litter box (if it is the rabbits first time using one) so he/she makes it an often place to use. I have a rabbit myself X) ! Sorry if i went on.

Will laying hens automaticaly use the nesting boxes?

Most hens prefer to lay their eggs in private, in a small enclosed area near to their roost. They have a natural instint to 'nest' and will almost always use the nesting box provided. Sometimes a hen might seem a bit lost as to what to do, so a false egg or a golf ball can be put in the nesting box as a 'hint' for them.

Hen that lays on the floor instead of in the nesting box?

I have found you can build the finest nesting boxes in the world, but hens are like kids, you buy them that expensive Christmas gift and they spend two weeks playing in the box. Hens will lay where they feel comfortable. Half mine uses the nesting boxes 10 or so use the floor and I have one that lays in an old tennis shoe my son threw in the pen. Go figure!
