  If you pick up the poop and put it in his litter box it shows him that that’s where he should poop. Once he is at the right age to be neutered and you get him neutered his litter habits should become better . For now since he’s still young he does not know he should poop in his litter box so picking the poops up and putting them in the box will help.
  
  My rabbit is 4 months old and is still not completely trained to poop in his box but is still better then when he was 8 weeks old.

  I’m not sure what you mean by stones of litter? Do you mean the litter itself? You should only have litter (such as carefresh, or paper pellets) in his litter tray and not in the rest of the cage, otherwise it can be confusing for your bunny.
  
  Having hay at one end of the tray, or in a hay rack above the end of the tray will help him to learn to poop in the tray, rabbits like to poop and pee while they are eating hay.
