:wave:
If the base of the cage is plastic, what is the best thing to put between the base and the hay/straw to stop the buns from slipping around? Ideas?

If they are littertrained, vetbed is good.

A lot of people use Carefresh but I would use newspaper. Also, if they are litter trained, you can use fleece.

They are generally littertrained, although we still have some slipups sometimes! How easy is it to clean?

With Carefresh it's the expense, also it doesn't fully cover the floor. I've heard that newspaper is bad because of the ink? They love to rip and chew.

The odd wee accident can be wiped off and for a thorough wash it can be put in the washing machine and also tumble dried

That sounds good! Isn't it a little bit hot for summer though?

How do you litter train them?

Not sure if you want to know how to litter train your bunny or if you're asking how I personally litter trained mine?

I noted the place they normally used as a toilet (one of the corners), put a litter tray there with some kitty litter in it, kept it clean (but not too clean because they need to understand what they should use it for), sprayed vinegar in the places that they wee'd (not the litter tray) and moved them to the litter tray when they wee'd somewhere they shouldn't.

If you want to litter train your bunny you should look at other posts like this: http://forums.rabbitrehome.org.uk/showthread.php?348709-litter-training&highlight=litter+training

Figure out where they toilet more, put a decent sized litter tray (or storage box 32L) there, line it with newspaper (or wood based cat litter, not the clumping stuff, that can make buns poorly in they eat it) and fill it with hay which will help encourage them as they usually poo/pee while eating
