Hi folks - just been looking at some of the (frankly awesome!) hutches you guys have built, and had a quick question about the use of wood shavings. I bought 2 rabbits about 6 months ago, and since then have, on the advice of the pet store, been covering the entire floors of their 2 storey hutch with about an inch of wood shavings. Obviously that makes for a lot of mess, and a lot of cleaning.
I'm noticing that most of the hutches I'm seeing here don't have anything on the floors, and look much, much tidier! Should I be using shavings everywhere? I use shavings with a covering of bedding hay in their nesting box to make it cosy, but if the bunnies would be just as happy without shavings everywhere else it would make life so much easier!
