Rabbit troubles involving waste! help me?

my rabbit goes anywhere she wants for her litter box, and she only tries to dig in her her real one or chew the sides of it. wat should i do?
Answers:
she'll get a hang out it as they get older they get jus a bit more neater than usual...i have a baby rabbit and shes always digging its just her age and shes bored from being in the cage let her out more and sit on the floor with her...she'll get use to you after awhile...but for the part that they **** everywhere that still ain't changed for me...put some hay in the litter box so she'll go to that spot more often...

^That might help ^^.
From personal experience--try putting pieces of waste or clumps of urinated-on bedding in her litter box (use gloves or paper towel), it'll help her learn that the box is a place to 'go'.
i assume she's not litter box trained if she goes wherever she wants. Find the area she goes most often and place the litter box there. Afterwards, place a few of her droppings and pee shavings/bedding (if any) into that litter box. Keep putting her back into her litter box. Everytime she leaves, keep putting her back. Eventually, she'll learn to use that area as her litter box. Treat rabbits like children. You gotta be persistent in order for them to learn. Be patient. She may not catch on right away. Keep doing this and she'll pick up on the fact that that's her bathroom area. I must warn you, some rabbits can't be litter trained no matter how hard you try. Let's just hope your rabbit isn't one of those rabbits.
It depends,
how old is your rabbit?
if still a baby it will take your rabbit a bit of time, limit her playtime to a small room, if its an older rabbit get her fixed shes probably marking her territory
it also may be her litterbox is too small, also try sticking timothy hay on one end of the litterbox she will use it more

Good Luck!
PS i disagree with the one answer i have never met a rabbit that couldnt be litterboxed trained, most take to it fairly fast with a few accidents though!
