My angora doe uses her hutch as a bathroom. Is there some way to get her to stop? She is the only rabbit that has used this pen.Thankx
 
I know one thing that has been suggested, is to offer a second nesting box if you have the cage space. The thought is that she'll use the one as a potty box, and keep the other clean for nesting. I find that it's mostly my first timers that do it, and once they give birth they stop. I also find that it's mostly my Californians that do it, and most often it's when they end up not being bred. I have one cally doe right now who has been doing nothing but pooping, and saturating her box with urine. She's on day 35, so I'm taking it as a sign she didn't take this time around.

Another thing to consider, did you put the nest box in a corner of the pen where she typically doesn't poop or urinate?
 
Hello animaltalker,
I believe the problem is:
That you have placed the nestbox in the Does Potty corner.
Try placing it in a different spot, it might help.
