I kept a rabbit in the bathroom for years. Since the bathroom had a
tile floor (to allow easy cleanup of urine) and no electrical cords
for the rabbit to chew on, it seemed ideal. I put her in with a litter
box and she automatically used it. The only time I had to clean up
after her was when she got diarhea (ever try to force feed a large
rabbit Kaopectate? No fun.).

I put a 12 inch high pine board across the door to keep her in the
bathroom. When friends came to visit and use the facilities, they just
assumed that I had a cat. It was very amusing to suddenly hear a
shriek when the Willy came out from behind the toilet to say hello.

Rabbits do have personalities and are good low-maintenance pets. Willy
stayed in the bathroom most of the time, but I would let her run in
the yard and nibble grass occasionally. The only thing that really
bothered me was that Willy was completely silent.
