  Put something safe to chew RIGHT there for him. Like weave cardboard around it, through cages bars, paper etc. Give him a phone book to dig and chew as well, this is really good for energetic buns.

  Oh dear. Have you tried moving the litter box? Perhaps he does not like where it is located right now and so moving it will get him to stop. My Daffodil will do this when her royal highness doesn’t like the placement of something in the palace.

  I agree that the best way to deter a bun from chewing is distracting it with something else to chew! I’ve had a lot of luck with the hay cubes they sell at the pet store. There’s also “snack shack” type things made of super condensed alfalfa that take forever to eat and are great for their teeth (here’s an example).
