Munchkin insists on sitting in his litter tray and using it as a bed not as a toilet

Any ideas on how I can change this, sorry I'm still a new bunny mummy.

Millions of bunnies do this :lol:

As long as the litter tray is changed 1 or 2 times a day it shouldn't really be a problem, rabbits are quite good at keeping themselves clean.

Perhaps provide something softer that he will like lying on instead?

If you don't already you could put a small layer of hay on top of the litter, so most of the wee will seep down to the actual litter and wont come in contact with their skin

Noodle hates a litter tray - whenever he used to go near it he used to flip it using his mouth :lol:

That was his party trick when people came round!

He is weeing and pooping outside the litter tray but sleeping in the litter tray that he moved to the opposite corner, hope that makes sense??

Put the tray where he is weeing then hopefully he should use the tray unless he is like my Pumpkin. Pump would go everywhere but his tray. I then cottoned on to the fact that he didnt want to go where he ate & took the hay out of the tray. He used the tray from that day on

Bailey has a soft bed on the ground floor of his cage and a blanket in a little hut on the top floor to sleep in yet he still insists on pooping, peeing and sleeping in his litter tray :roll:
