litter trianing

[Peanutthebunny]

Hi, everybody, I would just like to ask what is your favourites type of rabbit litter and what is the best kind of litter to use

(I know not to use cat litter or cedar etc)

[Louiethebunny]

You know what to rule out which is important, so most others work, it mostly depends what your rabbit will prefer. I like carefresh paper based bedding because it is sofit on his feet and it is very absorbant, others prefer pellets, or shredded paper.

I use the Petco brand paper cat litter. It’s exactly the same as the one with a picture of a rabbit but pound for pound costs less. However! Watch paper litter because a lot contains baking soda so you need to be sure your bun isn’t interested in eating it. It could expand in their tum and cause stasis.

thankyou pinkiemarie ill make sure it has no baking soda

I use wood stove pellets, they are the best for both price and odor control! You can buy them at most hardware stores or agricultural stores (Home Depot, Agway, Tractor supply) for ~$5 for 40lbs.

Wow, that’s cheap, but how do you know if they don’t contain cedar etc. ?

Wood stove pellets can contain wood from coniferous trees. Where I live, that is standard. Wood stove pellets are however kiln dried, which means most of the terpenes and other potentially harmful chemicals natural to these types of wood have evaporated.
