  1. I use puppy pads as a liner for my bunny’s litter box but he keeps chewing at them. Are there any other liners I can use that he wont chew through?
  
  2. I’m afraid that the litter I use is not absorbent and the pellets clump up to the point that they feel like mud. I think it’s deterring my bunny from using the litter box. Is there litter that doesn’t not clump/get wet too easily?

  1 – Chewing is a very natural rabbit behavior, so it’s likely he would chew any liner you use. Someone recently posted a way to potentially overcome it with cord protectors: https://binkybunny.com/forums/topic/cord-protectors-to-make-rabbit-not-chew-pee-pad/
  
  2 – Wood stove pellets are common and popular. I use it and it does not “clump”, but the pellets break down into saw dust. I find it tolerates a lot more urine before getting super wet. It is a more rough texture because they are big pellets, so I and others use a litter screen made from plastic knitting mesh (7-count) and it can make it more welcoming to the feet!
