DO not use pine or cedar shavings, they have been shown to cause cancer is rabbits. The natural oils in softwoods mixes with something is the buns urne and gives off a cancer causing vapor.
You can use aspen (a hardwood as opposed to the softwoods listed above). or bedding made of recycled newspapers such as Carefresh or Yesterdays News. There is also now a wheat based litter for cats that might work for bunnies. As Karen said, go to www.rabbit.org and read all of their litter training info.
Also an unneutered bunnies, both boys and girls, will poo and pee everywhere when they become sexually mature...this is their way of attracting a mate. Get the bun spayed and the problem will go away....not immediately because after the operation the hormones linger in the bunny's body for 4-6 weeks, but after that time the poo and pee everywhere should cut down dramatically. Also adult bunnies, around 1 yr of age, will be more likely to use a litter box than a young one.... Young bunnies are having too much fun and are too excited about investigating their world to stop and go over to their litter box....kinda like trying to get a toddler to stop playing and use a toilet.....
It will get better but in the meantime I would only let your bunny out when you are at home and can watch her. Remember spaying the bunny is they key to this problem. Good luck.
