Can a Rabbit Use a Litter Box?
My husband bought our children a pet rabbit for Easter. I’ve heard bunnies can be trained to use a litter box. Is that really true? —J.A., McLoud, Oklahoma Well, yes and no. You can’t do much to train any animal to use a litter box, but some rabbits — like cats — will take to it naturally. One couple I know confined their bunny to a bathroom before heading out, and then returned to find (surprise!) that Flopsy had used their cat’s litter box without any prodding. Of course, not every rabbit shares this instinct. And even those who do urinate in the box may still drop pellets everywhere else. Bottom line: It’s worth a try to see what happens — just don’t expect 100 percent accuracy. Will My White Dog Get Sunburned? I love to take my white bull terrier puppy to the beach, but I’m told he could get sunburned. Is this possible? —M.N., Rockport, Texas Absolutely. Short-haired breeds, dogs with light-colored coats or bare patches, and puppies with delicate skin are most susceptible to burnin
