Default House rabbit

Does anyone have a house rabbit? If so, have you managed to make it go to toilet in a spacific place and how? Ours just goes where it feels like going, either my OH or me are constantly folling it about cleaning up after him. He seems to pee in his box most times. We put a drop of bleach on some cardboard and that seemed to work for pee, but not for poo.

The rabbit i bred and gave to my nana is like a house rabbit, sometimes it poops on the floor but ALWAYS wee's in its cage! I t sleeps on the sofa, eats out of bowls in the kitchen and sleeps by the fire in the winter. He's amazing and very gentle

Our rabbit is house trained - he only toilets in his cage and spends most of his time sat on the couch watching the Tv and the rest of the world go by.

He was already a house rabbit when he came to us though so I have no idea how long it takes to train them I would say that due to him never being outdoors though his claws were enorrrrrmous!!

I'd love a house rabbit too.
I bought this book on small animals (pets, like rabits, guinea pics, rats, mice, gerbils, sugar gliders, etc), and it tells you how to set up a home out side and one inside.
The picture shows a litter tray in the indoor rabbit run/cage, so im assuming they have and will use it. Not like a cat with burying it, but it says if you put their toilet in it, they get used to hopping in it to go to the loo.

My eldest has a house rabbit - it used to just go anywhere - but now it seems to go upstairs to the bathroom and goes on the lino there. Not just electrical cords though, beware of leaving round clothes or anything - this one chewed holes in her OH's trousers - oh yes - and in the carpet too
