I trained my rabbits to use a litter box, pretty much the same way you would train a cat. It was a little bit longer of a process. One thing I did differently with my first rabbit was use a basic litter box but I put in wood chips instead of litter, then got one of those racks for putting in the bottom of your sink, the plastic coated metal ones, and put this over the wood chips. This left about an inch between the wood chips and the bottom of the rack. He seemed to prefer this. I'm not sure why but it also helped keep the mess down when he'd jump out of the box - those big feet would send stuff flying everywhere without a rack. The only problem I had was if he got to playing and racing around, sometimes a little brown missile would come flying out, but for the most part he always used the box. I did learn tho, once they know where the liter box is, don't move it. I re-arranged the room once and moved his. He would go to the old spot and go on the floor there, even tho he knew where his box was. I ended up having to put it back. I also found that of he was spending the majority of his time in a different area of the house, like the living room, it was easier to bring his box out there then having him trek back to my bedroom. He would do this if he had to but most of the time he would leave a bit of a trail along the way. Again, when I brought his box into the living room, it was always go in the same spot every time
