        Just received a note from my local House Rabbit Society to stop using Carefresh with baking soda.  I’ve been using it for the past 3 months with no adverse effects on my bunnies (that I’ve noticed).  Is there a black and white answer re using the new and IMPROVED baking soda Carefresh?  Also, my local store only carries Carefresh with baking soda. If its the wrong thing to use, does anyone have an alternative?

          I don’t really know if it’s okay to use. I would trust the HOuse Rabbit Society, but hopefully another member could help you with that.

          I would switch to woodpellets or just hay for litter. You can buy it in huge amounts for cheap at feed stores. My rabbit’s enjoyed eating the carefresh which was a problem and the bag only lasted a little. For bedding, I just use a mixture of hay, fleeces and linoleum flooring.

            I checked into this and spoke with the folks who make Carefresh back when the switch occurred. According to the manufacturer, they haven’t changed the product, just the packaging. Apparently the idea came from the marketing folks. As always, if your bunny decides to make a meal out of eating litter, find another kind of litter that the bunny doesn’t eat. I tried Yesterday’s News pelleted litter, and my bunnies didn’t like it because it was in pellet form and made noise and moved under their feet.
