Rats can be trained to use a litter box but since they don't have control of their bowels or urination they will still go wherever. To begin training you'll have to have one spot that they can go. The best way to do this is to have a small box with litter or bedding in it in the cage and continue putting rat poo and soiled bedding in the box. Eventually the rat will start to go in there instead of wherever it wants. The trick is to keep the rest of the cage from smelling like rat. Make sure you're not just letting the rat run around the house because that's just to much space for the rat to remember to get to a litter box. It's pretty much the same as teaching a dog or cat to go in a litter box, you just have to use redirection and have patience.
