I think you want {zutse ne'i lo tanxe}/{sanli ne'i le va tanxe}
for those.

{ne'i zutse/sanli lo tanxe} says that the bunny is sitting/standing
on the box, and that this happens inside of something unspecified
(a room?).

{zutse/sanli ne'i lo tanxe} says that the bunny is sitting/standing
on something unspecified (the floor of the box?), and that this
happens inside the box.
