How to clean my pet's dirty feet when they resist, and potty train?

Question

I got him a new cage, with solid floorings and placed a toilet tray in it. He uses it but most of the time he pees and poo outside of it. He then steps on his own pee and the bottom of his feet are yellow and dirty, the fur is clumping up. Can I wet the bathroom floor and let him in so his feet gets wet slightly, because he refuses to let me touch his feet, and I tried using wet tissue but it does not fully come off. Also, how do I get him to use his toilet properly? Thanks. Pet's info: Small Animal | Rabbit | Male | neutered | 3 months and 16 days old | 1.874 lbs

Place a litterbox in each corner of the cage. When he goes outside of it, pick up the pellets and place them in the box he uses most often. Do the same with his urine. Soak It up with a tissue or scoop the wet bedding into the litterbox. Remove the litterboxes he doesn't use, one at a time, once you have determined his preference. You'll need to gradually acclimate him to allowing his feet to be touched. Allowing his feet to remain wet or wetting them frequently may predispose him to infection.
