  Found this tutorial from my local rescue and it is awesome so I thought I would share! Bun Jovi has gone through fancy sea grass mats in like a day, which is not financially sustainable!

  I made a newspaper mat like the one in the tutorial in about 30 minutes. I also made one out of cardboard strips in about 10 minutes (I just cut strips from a shipping box, rather than folding newspaper)!
  
  Both buns really seem to like the newspaper mats. I think it provides a nice amount of cushion.

  Thanks for sharing! It’s a Greta idea, and will save money instead of ordering Seagrass or hemp mats!!!

  The only downside is if you have a white bunny their little feet can start looking a bit dingy from the newsprint, but other than that they are great!
  
  I still will spoil mine with grass mats from time to time, but it’s nice to mix it up with free things!
