Oh right. Aren't they using the eating hay as a toilet too? Mine would. If you find your set up is working, that's fair enough, it just makes more sense to me to have one box, filled with litter, and a small amount of hay that you top up whenever they're getting low. If I put a ton in, they'd eat some but they'd mainly pee on it, which I find a waste. I want hay to be only for eating. Like I said, they like to go where they eat, so if you're putting the potty and the food in two separate areas, they might be confused as to where to go.

I know this isn't the best picture in the world but I'm not feeling emotionally strong enough to go looking through photos of my boy tonight.
This is how I do my bunnies' litter trays.
One other thing, are you sure they aren't weeing somewhere you haven't seen? At one point, when I was mid bonding my four into a quad, one of the trays I was using (not one of those above) had cracked slightly but I hadn't seen. I soaked into the carpet and was very difficult to get rid of the smell. I'd think I'd cleaned it up but it still smelt, whether Nutmeg was weeing there again, or whether it had soaked in and proved impossible to get rid of I don't know. I ended up getting rid of the carpet as I was planning on doing that anyway as it was old. Mind you, I could smell that, it wasn't something I grew used to.

You guys ways seem like they use a lot less hay... Thanks! I'll get some straw tomorrow and try it out! You guys are great! Thanks! They'll have more room now too.
And bethepoet, no they don't use the eating hay as a toilet, just the litter box. They are wonderful bunnies. They'll be playing across the room and suddenly stop, stare at me then dash to the litter box. They do their business then they go back to playing.
