  from HRS: “corn cob litter isn’t absorbent and doesn’t control odor, and has the the risk of being eaten and casing a lethal blockage.”

  i used to use corncob litter with my first rabbit. it was just one of those things of not knowing what’s best to use. i knew the wood shavings were a no-no… but i really thought corncob was fine. once i learned my mistake, i corrected it immediately.
  
  there are other acceptable litters you can use. they are listed in the link i posted above. Carefresh is very soft, that might work better for those delicate rex footsies.
  
  edited: oh, and to answer your other question… corncob is not softer. it’s almost like little, hard pebbles.

  I had a Mini Rex and he seemed happy with the Care Fresh. I had mild allergies too, so it was less dusty for me – used the white as recommended for less dust, but it cost more. I think the natural (recycled, not colored) would be fine if it’s just for footsies.

  You might try aspen shavings – those are soft of bunny feet and seem to be more odor absorbent in my experience than Care Fresh and more affordable.
  
  Corncob is definitely a no-no for bunnies.
