NEVER spank a rabbit! For several reasons - because they're so fragile, you could seriously injure it; and secondly, your rabbit will not understand this human behaviour, and will become afraid of you and not want to come near you!
And yes, rabbits certainly can be litter trained. I've written an article on how to toilet train bunns here -

... rabbits can be toilet-trained 鈥?whether in his hutch, or free in your home, you鈥檒l notice that your bunny usually pees in the same corner. So, get a flat tray - we cover our bunn's litter tray with a couple of pages of newspaper and more wood shavings - and put the tray directly where he鈥檚 peeing. He then begins to associate the tray as the toilet. (Just a word of warning - NEVER use mineral cat litter, because if a rabbit ingests this, it can swell in his stomach and he will die. Much better are wood shavings or shredded paper.) The trick is really to put the tray where you observe him peeing, rather than try to get him to go wherever you place the tray 鈥?that will not succeed! He will eventually associate the tray with pooping as well, but this is relative to the individual bunny 鈥?some bunnies are easier to toilet train than others, and you must remember that, from a rabbit鈥檚 point of view, depositing a small pile of droppings, and their regular corners where they pee also, reassures your bunny that this is his territory, and that no other pesky renegade rabbits are going to try and claim it as theirs. Anyway, bunnies鈥?pellet-like poop isn鈥檛 very offensive, and is easy to sweep up! You can gather up the pellets which bunny deposits around the room, and place them on his litter tray - this will encourage him to recognise the tray as the place to deposit them in future. But rabbits can indeed be toilet trained because, to reiterate, they like to go in the one place 鈥?so when you find the place that they like to go, that is where you place the tray, and they will learn to associate the tray with their toilet. If they鈥檙e also peeing in a different spot, especially in a large enclosure or a big room, you simply place another, second tray in that new spot too - so bunny may have two trays, in a larger enclosure or room.How do I litter train my rabbit?
i don't think you can. cats use litter because they have an instinct to go in sand to cover it up, but rabbits just go wherever they feel like going.
The most effect way is to spank your rabbit if it does its business in the wrong place.
I don't think the obedience schools or anything like that works. My aunt spent hundreds of dollars on one, and when her toy poodle came back, it started doing its business all over the carpet again. so she just had my grandma spank it.
