HI THERE

You won’t be needing the bedding.. it will confuse bunny as to where to do its business.. so only litter in the box is terrific. Also, finding a good exotic vet in your area is highly suggested to when your bunny enters the hormonal stage. Boys will need to be neutered at 4 months, girls at 6 months. Their litter habits will improve after. The vet is also great to when there are sudden illnesses.

Some members use American Pet Diner, some use Oxbow. I use Kaytee with no additives. I’m not sure if you are getting a baby or adopting from a shelter, but pellet amounts / types are different with babies and adult rabbits.

A good dish to use for rabbit food are ceramic because some rabbits like to knock their stuff over

Some cardboard boxes too! Make sure it has no tape and glue on it!

Welcome to BB! Congrats on your new bunny. Are you planning to adopt from a shelter, or is the bunny from a breeder or friend?

As LoveChaCha mentioned, you won’t need the bedding. Some bunnies like having a soft place to lay, but filling the whole cage or pen with bedding is more harm than good. It makes a gigantic, smelly mess that’s nasty to clean up.

I’d strongly recommend getting wood stove pellets for litter. They’re absorbent, cheap (40 lbs for about $5) and odor-reducing. Just make sure that you don’t get any that are treated with chemicals.

Nature’s Miracle is great for cleaning up pee spots, but I’ve found that white vinegar works best for cleaning litterboxes. I also like sprinkling some baking soda on the litter and around my bunny room to get rid of the pee smell.

The willow hay rack is a cute idea, but if your rabbit is a chewer, it’ll be gone in a few days. The shelter I volunteer at uses stackable office crates for hay. They make great hay holders – they hold more hay than any other hay holder I’ve used.

Oxbow Essentials Bunny Basics T, if you can find it, is (in my opinion) the best timothy pellet for bunnies. It’s a bit expensive, but it’s worth it. I think Oxbow also makes an organic rabbit pellet, but I can’t remember the name. Another good brand is Kaytee Timothy Complete, although that brand does have some questionable additives.

For toys, bunnies actually like simple things best. Non-dyed cardboard boxes, dried apple sticks, phone books and cardboard toilet paper rolls are all favorites.

My 3 adore their Oxbow Timothy pellets. It’s an excellent pellet.

You don’t want to buy any pellets with added seeds and crap to them. A plain timothy pellet is your best bet

Agree with LoveChacha on the cage bedding, you don’t need it. It will just confuse bunny about where to go potty. You’ll want a rectangular cat litter box, the tiny triangular ones aren’t very good, bunnies like room to pee

Yes I agree bedding is not necessary. As for litter, the best kinds are wood stove pellets ( that FluffyBunny suggested) or horse stall bedding. I like Horse stall bedding better than wood stove pellets because you don’t have to worry about there being bad chemicals in them because they are made for animals, also I like them better because you can find them all year round, wood stove pellets are only sold in the winter.

As for pellets I would suggest you get oxbows:

this is the adult rabbit pellets made by oxbow, It is bunny basics T

This is the pellets made for rabbits under 6 months of age.

Another brand that is Timothy based (which is recommended for adult bunnies) is Zupreem. These pellets ARE more expensive than some of the gimmicky pet store pellets (stuff with added color and seeds and fruit- which is not recommended) but pellets should make up such a small part of their diet that it is not that expensive really. My 5.5 lb Mini Lop only gets 1 tablespoon a day and my 2 bonded boys that are together- a 5.5lb Mini Lop and a 9 lb English Lop get 1/4 cup to share daily.
I look at the pellets are more of a ration balancer/vitamin-mineral supplement than a “food”.

Your list looks pretty good. I love the hairbuster comb- and you may not need any other comb or brush- just don’t leave it where they can nibble on it since they love to nibble rubbery textures like the comb strip and remote contol buttons.
And it is actually fun to go to the grocery store and see what I can buy for the bunnies to eat! Bioth for greens/veggies and for snacks. Granted snack should be limited- but there are tons of “human options” for bunnies like raisins, craisins and other pieces of small dried fruit. I used to have the diet list from this site laminated and I kept it in my purse so when I was at the grocery store or farmers market I knew which ones were OK for bunnies. I have bought things for my bunnies that I have never tried- like Kohlrabi, mustard greens, collard greens, turnip greens, kale, etc.
