  I orginally had some white kaytee bedding as the litter since I couldnt find any non clumping litter and i realized mickey (one of my rabbits) was eating it. I just bought some so phresh paper litter pellets to try and they’re both eating it. Does anyone know how to make them stop or what other litter i should try? I tried putting hay in the box with it but they just ate then dug around to get to the pellets. Will it hurt them?

  Using carefresh untreated or other paper based litters are fine. Rabbits are probably searching for their cecotropes which are undigested leftovers and are very nutritious for them (yes they eat their poop) also rabbits will eat paper as it has cellouse so provide some untreated posterboard, cardboard, or other chewables like willow.
