  M cinnibun won’t stop digging in the litter box. She digs and pushes it out. Most of the bedding and hay ends up on the cage floor. Any ways to stop this? I tried giving her other things to dig on but she still chooses her litter box, ugh.

  Put a wire grate over the litter. However, this wouldn’t be a good idea if your buns are prone to sore hocks.

  I use a litter box screen. I’ve used both the wire mesh kind that are sold in the Binky Bunny store, as well as homemade wire ones. I put a fluffy hay layer on top so it is soft on their feet. I’ve never had any problems with my buns hocks while using the wire mesh.
  
  I have recently switched to plastic knitting mesh. It’s a little more annoying to keep clean and they can nibble on them, but are a little softer. I still put a hay layer on top to prevent the nibbling nibbling.

  When my cinnibun was little I had one with wire mesh but she was getting sore hocks, I then switched to plastic grating but she barely used it.
