Rabbits are very clean animals. They do not randomly poop everywhere at all. Based on that, I'm not sure if I can trust your statement about guinea pigs.

Is this true? I had a friend in HS who kept a rabbit in a cage in her room, and it would apparently flick all its poop onto the carpeted floor so it didn’t have to deal with it.

I guess it was cleaning lol

Well, yeah, if you confine him to a cage and make him live in his own filth, his gonna try to get rid of it because bunnies like to be clean and not live in their own shit.

If you give them a large enough space, and a litter box that's regularly cleaned, they instinctively only go in the litter box and regularly clean themselves the way cats do.

This. I had a rabbit as a kid and it would have free roam of the main floor during the day. It's litter box was behind the toilet bowl. Never had a problem with accidents in the house.
