I've been trying different setups and seeing what she likes but can't get it quite ri
I can see why you are having trouble. The cage itself is about the size that a litter box should be. So you've been trying to fit a litter box
inside a cage that is, itself, the size of a litter box. Do you have an exercise pen?
I would suggest using an exercise pen to create a permanent area for her. The current cage can then either be converted into a litter box (just remove the top and use the purple part for the litter box), OR it could possibly used for a hidey area (just empty it of
everything and drape a sheet or fleece blanket
on top of it so just the front is open). If you turn it into a hidey, then remove the ramp/door or cover it with something so her paws don't get trapped.
If you use the current cage for a hidey area inside the exercise pen, then the gray pan can be used for a litter box. Be sure to keep the hidey cage away from the pen walls or she might use it as a step to hop over the pen wall.
The water bottle you have is hanging too low. Bunny has to twist her head to get to the water. Bowls are better for water. You can get one that twists onto a clamp. The clamp can be attached to the outside of the cage or to the exercise pen.
Here is an example of how a standard exercise pen is used to create a good size area by making use of one wall. [
@Butterscotch ' photo is another example of a pen cage]
Once you have an exercise pen area setup for your rabbit, you can add that cardboard hidey box and various toys.
For the litter box set up -- whether you use the purple base or the gray box -- put your pine pellets in the bottom of the box and then top it with hay. You can see the litter box in my photo above on the back right.
Here is how the litter box is set up:
You'll notice that in both my pics and those of
@Butterscotch that there is no loose bedding anywhere. Only the litter boxes have bedding/litter.
