So I let my bunny run around my room for exercise, but it has decided to pick one corner of my bed as its litter box. I've read that bunnies like to pee in one spot and will always return to that spot to pee, no matter what litter (clean/soiled) you put. If you put its litterbox in a new spot, it won't pee there. This seems to be true for my bunny but how do I get it to pee and poo on a spot on my floor instead of my bed?????
How do I get my bunny to pee in a different spot?

Bunnies tend to like to pee on soft things, beds included.
You could stop allowing the bun on the bed, or you could put a litter box on the bed and let the bun go in the box. THEN after the bun gets used to the litter box, you could try to move it over a few inches at a time and let him get used to it there. Then after a few days move it a few more inches. Then try to put it in a spot that you're comfortable with. Moving it slowly over some time might work. I've never actually done that with a rabbit, but my vet recommended it for a cat.
You'll also want to clean your bed with white vinegar or Natures Miracle or Pure Ayre to get the smell of pee out of your bed. So the bun won't be tempted to pee on it more.
I would just not the let the bun on the bed until its completely litter trained and spayed/neutered. That would solve the peeing on the bed thing. But if you want to put the bun on the bed, maybe get a puppy pee pee pad and put it where the bun likes to go potty. Then a litter box. But putting something down would protect your bed from the mess.
