It is quite easy to litter train a rabbit. They tend to be easier to train after a year but a little persistence pays off. Firstly if your rabbit is in a house bun, keep it in a kitchen or somewhere where it can be contained and any mess cleared up easily. Line a tray with paper and hay, (they eat and poo at the same time). Keep the rabbit in a contained area. Any pellets(poo) pick up and place in the tray and any urine, mop up with a tissue and also place in the tray. This will help identify its toilet. After a while it will realise that this is where it toilets. Then gradually increase the space it is allowed in the house. Any mistakes return the rabbit to the confined space until it relearns what to do and where. After a while you will be able to increase it's area for it to run. If it persists in going in another room, another tactic is to place a tray or several around the house and gradually reduce the amount of trays you have. The more consistent to are now, the less accidents you will have in the future. Time is needed, don't try to rush or things will keep slipping back. Neutering will reduce territiorial marking and spraying. The same applies to a hutch but it is already confined, so just place its mess back in the tray. Good luck. P.S. They will also sleep in their trays, it's quite normal.

Pretty much the same way you would a cat! Show the rabbit where the tray is and if you catch it peeing elsewhere put it into the tray again.
I had a house rabbit who used a litter tray, the only problem is they will only pee in it, they drop pellets all the time and there is little hope of you training it to do that in the tray! Having said that rabbit droppings are not as smelly as cat or dog mess and are much easier to clean up!!
