  I’m looking into different types of Dust Free bedding and litter that works great I prefer Paper Based as I have asthma and allergies and just super sensitive skin. I know pine pellets can be Dusty and can sometimes irritate my skin so I’m looking for non wood based bedding/ litter that works well at odor control and is dust free and safe .

  Sorry, i dont know if that went through, so i can recap: I found this amazing new litter called carefresh, its available on amazon, and it’s only $10 so super affordable. It’s dust free, and stops litterbox smells away for at least 3 days.

    Due to forum rules, we do not permit users posting links to vendors. That being said, Dally has provided you the name “Carefresh” as the brand so you can search for it yourself on vendor sites. Carefresh can be available in different varieties, but it will all be the same brand. I would avoid their colored and scented versions and just go with the natural or white variant.

    It’s ok and thanks for the recommendation. Is it the fluffy type bedding or is it the pellet shaped litter they came out with out of curiosity?

  I use back2nature for my buns litter. It’s paper pellets, i’ve never used any other litter before but heard it’s more absorbent and doesn’t get as crumbly as carefresh. We’ve had no problems with it so far 🙂

    I see I haven’t used back to nature how well is it for odor control and what sized bags do they have? And how often do you change the litter box out of curiosity I was planning on changing the litter box 1-2 times a week for full dumping of the used bedding . As I have 3 bonded rabbits that will be using the same litter box I plan on getting a couple different litter boxes just for different areas.

    I change her litter every 2 days and used a 20L bag which lasted me 2 months, but have now just bought a 30L which is their biggest. I’ve gone up to 3 days without much odour unless you have your nose right up to the litter of course but think I could have gone an extra day. I also use Cage fresh granules which I think also helps with the smell and could be something else you could consider for your buns?

  I see thank you so much I’ll definitely look into the back to nature litter I’ll get it for my rabbits. that’s extremely helpful and good to know. what are cage fresh granules out of curiosity I’ve never heard of them can you take a picture of the product and share it ? Thanks for sharing all the good information about this litter I’ll definitely have to get it for my buns for now I have a 20 pound bag of oxbow Eco Straw Litter haven’t used it yet since I don’t have my rabbits yet . As I’m still just getting everything set up for them waiting for my boyfriend to help me with the more heavy lifting and demanding things since I have had to deal with an injury since April last year so I’ve been in and out of physical therapy and occupational therapy and seeing specialist to try and get my injury under control it’s been affecting my arms and hands and causing a lot of numbness and tingling. So I’m pretty behind with getting everything set up for them but I should be getting them some time this month.

    I’m not too sure how to upload a photo but I use the one by beaphar. I have always used it so i’m not sure how much of a difference it makes if I didn’t use it, but according to the package it ‘reduces unpleasant odours’.
    
    And get well soon!!! So excited for you and your new buns 🙂

    I see thank you so much I’ve never heard of the brand beaphar before is it sold in the US? If so where do you get it I definitely have to look into them thanks again and I can’t wait to get them either sadly the Runt passed away She had a weaker immune system and with the cold weather and the heating went out it just took a toll on her but the other two are doing super well they just turned 7 months old today January 9 ,I got tons of pictures of them the past couple weeks I got 5 new pictures they’re so stinking adorable. Thank you again so much for the help out of curiosity how much litter do you put in the litter box ? And what size is your litter box?

    I’m in the UK so i’m not sure if they’re sold anywhere else but maybe other brands do it?
    
    I use a cat litter tray and use a scoop to take out the litter from the bag. Most times I use about 6-8 scoops as I’ll do 3/4 litter and the rest hay but to make it last longer or help with smell, I would do the whole litter tray as mine pees in her hay sometimes and there’s nothing under to absorb it.
    
    So sorry to hear about your bun, at least you still have the other two 🙁

  I’m having the same little problem right now! I don’t have a suggestion for litter, but I would suggest to make sure that the litter doesn’t have any baking soda in it. Some store brands put baking soda in there and it’s not good for the buns.
