What kind of litter box should I get for my rabbit?

I tried one of those plastic corner litter boxes that go in the cage and all she does is play with it. She lifts it up and all the shreaded paper would get out of the litter box. What kind of a litter box would be good for a dwarf rabbit? Help!

For my rabbit I used a thin lining of hay. You could put absorbent material underneath. They’re used to sitting in it and may nibble a little bit but will eventually get used to the idea. Rabbits also like to eat while doing their business so this encourages them.
Secure the corner litter box to the cage with pegs so she can’t flip it.
I think you’re on the right track
here’s a photo to confirm the kind of litter tray you should give the rabbit:

Hope i helped.
Skip the litter box. Use a vacuum cleaner. About 2 hours after a carrot.
Try a smaller one that is square that the bunny has to hop into. That helps contain the mess. Also, instead of newspaper I would suggest a bedding such as Carefresh. Its soft, absorbent and safe for bunnies.
Use a corner ferret litter pan/box
Is she in a hutch outside? What i did was put the litter box in the upper left corner, tied the hay rack next to it closer to the door so neither can move. Then the food is attached to the front left and the water is on the right.
I would also suggest that you don’t use paper for litter. I use these absorbent pellet things from Fleet Farm(?), they work WAY better then paper or bedding stuff from the pet store
I have a triangular shaped litter box that fits in the corner. On the two sides along walls, there is a system for attaching it to the side of the cage so it cant be moved. In addition, there is a wire floor the rabbit stands on with the bedding below it (just in the litter box, the cage has a solid floor)
this isnt the one i have but its like this
