Holland lops, or all rabbits in general are very clean. They all usually have a specific spot to use the bathroom. They are easily litter trainable. There are just a few simple steps.The first thing you need to do is pick out a litter box and place it in the cage. You always want to start with the cage and then expand to larger areas of space. You want to also purchase litter. You don't want to use cat litter because it contains clay and can be dusty. That can cause respiratory problems to the rabbit. Most pet stores sell specially made rabbit or rodent litter that you can place in her cage.
Once you have all of the proper materials, what you want to do is put something such as a paper towel you used to wipe their urine with or their poop. You will then place it in her cage in the corner that she generally uses. They generally pick a corner they go the the bathroom in and it is usually the back left or right corners. You would place it in the corner and wait. You can also place hay in the pan and then it will keep them in the correct area. Then when the need to 'go' they will already be there.
If you need to expand your bathroom area, simply what you will do is the same thing as stated above. It may take time but most rabbits can learn to make it back to their cage. If you have a larger house or your rabbit simply can't make it, you may need to place one or two boxes extra throughout your house.
If your rabbit is not learning or only goes in the box some of the time, it is probably territorial. If your rabbit is young (one year or younger), is not spayed, or is an un-nuetered buck it is probably horomonal. If it is not fixed the easiest way to stop the problem is to spay or nueter it. If your rabbit is a youngster, but is over six months, you can also get it fixed. If your rabbit isn't you should probably just confine it to a cage and take it out for play time daily until the problem stops.
If you are having problems that causes the litter box to smell bad, you can put newspaper under the litter. Also, you should empty it daily or every other day.
