Don't worry, he's not un-potty trained :) I have noticed that mine ALWAYS do their business in their hay, so now, I put the hay in their litter trays and I change it everyday. They must find it comfy :D

It is quite tricky. Rabbits are creatures of habit, and once they start seeing something as a litter box, it is not easy to change this. Wait for Catayn, she may have some tips you could use.
Do you have a picture of their hay rack?

Bunnies typically like to munch and poop at the same time. I use very big litter boxes (rubbermaid bin), fill the bottom with pine pellets and add a huge handful of hay at one end once a day. My guys love to munch, dig, rearrange and yes, poop on the hay (mostly in one corner though). Because the litter box is so big I end up changing it once or twice a week and just keep adding lots of fresh hay daily. The bottom stays lined with the pine pellets and the hay adds a new layer everyday. I also had tried everything to keep them potty trained and keep the hay "contained". I've had my bunnies for a few years now and this is by far what I found works best.

Hey leyley! Yes, I was talking about the hay rack, sorry, my post was a bit confusing. It's strange, it should be easy for them to eat out of that. But like karen, I have noticed that my bunnies like to poop and eat at the same time. :rolleyes:

Great idea Karen by the way, I will try that with mine! :)

I don't see what else you could do leyley, you have already tried the best alternatives! Ah bunnies, they know how to make us go crazy! :crazy:
