pooping in the hutch

Question
I have a 3yr bunny (Lucy) that is very clean and keeps his hutch in order.  I picked up another bunny that is now sharing the large cage and hutch.  The new bunny does her business inside the hutch and not in the open bottom cage area.  I now have two dirty rabbits.  How can I get this new rabbit to go in the cage area like Lucy.
Help,
Pam

Answer
The question is how you convince her to use a nice litterbox rather than the wood, and you do that by putting a litterbox where she is going so she uses it rather than the floor of the cage.

There's good info on litterbox training rabbits at http://www.rabbit.org/faq/sections/litter.html
