  OK so you all must be completely sick to death of my posts by now.
  
  Lila is here for about 2 and a half days now. She is 15 months. She was an outdoor rabbit. I do not believe there was a litter pan nvolved perviously.
  
  She is in a cage with a flat plastic floor. I have a little soft mat on one end of the cage where she prefers to relax. In fact, she now has decided the food bowl belongs by the litter pan and not on her bed area. OK Lila, no problem. She even pees and poops in her litter pan. BUT she randomly does poops in other places, even sometimes on her little mat. (only twice so far) But you can tell they are not scattered. This is a distinct little pile of poops in areas of the cage floor. Even the plain old plastic bottom.
  
  I pick them up and put them in the litter pan, and I sometimes just throw them in the trash. I constantly am picking up poops. She does randomly poop in the littler pan too though. I am using the one where she can get to the bedding.. no wire on top. I even layed some hay n the litter pan along the one edge of the triangle to encourage her to use it.
  
  How can I get her to be consistant?

  She will be. RIght now she is ‘scenting’ the area with her poops. Claiming the space. It can take a couple of weeks before they stop.

  Should I be rushing to pick them up or just leave them there? If I keep picking them up she may keep having the desire to scent the area or no?
  
  Maybe I should just rub a few on the floor before I pick them up? Like a piece of chalk?

  keep picking them up. you want the scent to be in the litterbox. if she’s peeing in the litterbox after such a short time, that is great. some rabbits will always leave poops around, they’re easy enough to pick up tho, so count yourself lucky.

  I think she may always want to leave me presents. I will know after the next month or so I suppose

  That’s what a dust buster is for. not only does it pick them up, but it also scares her back into the litter pan.
