Instructions
Place a small litter box in the cage with your rabbit. Access to a litter box will help reduce the amount of bedding that gets soiled to a minimum. Clean your litter box daily. Don't use kitty litter in your rabbit's litter box, as the dust from kitty litter will irritate its lungs. Fill the litter box with a non-clumping organic rabbit litter.
Avoid using wood shavings that have pine and/or cedar. Pine and cedar wood shavings can lead to liver damage in rabbits.
Choose shredded newspaper if you're economically minded. All you have to do is run your morning paper through the shredder and place it in your rabbit's cage. Although economical, newspaper tends to get soiled more then other bedding and will need to be changed daily.
Choose hay as an excellent rabbit bedding. Not only does fresh hay provide your pet rabbit with a soft place to sleep, it is also an excellent way to balance your rabbit's diet. Plus, the hay will make your house smell good. If you use hay for rabbit bedding make sure that it is timothy grass hay.
Choose Vetbed, an excellent, hard wearing pet bed that can be placed in your rabbit's cage. Although the Vetbed makes a comfortable place for your rabbit to sleep, it is expensive. Also, since rabbits like to chew on things you will have to keep the bed covered with heavy duty canvas.
What Kind of Bedding to Use for Rabbits
Many households like the idea of having a rabbit for a pet instead of the more traditional cat or dog, simply because rabbits are clean and can be kept in a cage. Another perk to having a house rabbit is that it is possible to train them to use a litter box so that they can run free in your home. If you decide to keep your pet rabbit locked in a cage you will have to make sure that you provide proper bedding for it.
