Back from my hiatus! Free from exams at last!

So anyway, I've noticed that Donut loves to dig at my marble floor.
I got him an oxbow mat to dig but it was gone within a week, because the other two bunnies will chew and play with it too.
Any other things I can use for him to dig to his heart's content?

Sorry if I sound really cheap or anything, but in my country we cater more to dogs and cats. Rabbits stuffs are limited and expensive here and as a student I always have to look for cheaper alternatives. Sigh. Pity my boys :(
Help please? I heard towels are good but don't wanna try it till I hear from you guys :biggrin: thanks in advance!
 
My bf and i have given Binky a box filled with shredded newspaper, a phone book and a old towel. Those are just a few things i can think of. Im sure there are other stuff you can offer.
 
So I guess towels are fine then? :))
I try and avoid boxes as much as possible unless they're those huge handmade castles my boyfriend does for the rabbits.
Shoeboxes, they'll use it as a litter box , the naughty devils >.<
 
I'm pretty sure I've seen pictures of a box (either cardboard or plastic) filled with sand. I think that could be a great alternative. I've also heard of filling a box with scraps of fabric. C:
 
I did try soil....boy that messed up my room real quick. But the silly rabbit was so happy I let him have it his way :D
NewBunnyMomma : won't they pee inside? :L
Teehee. I'm gonna go out and explore the convenient stores today and see what I can find :/ :p
 
I thought she would use it as a litter box (that was actually the intended purpose) but she has designated other litter boxes for that use and she decided this box was just for digging and hiding...rabbits are so interesting...
 
I give up . LOL :p
Got them a huge cardboard box filled with shredded paper (soy based ink, not to worry) and they had a hell of a time. But they pee inside it as well , so I doubt that box is gonna last for very long....:p
Ah well. With rabbits, as long as they're having fun its all that matters >.<
 
Perhaps you can buy a closed cat litter box and put some digging material inside. That way, if they do pee, you can clean it. You'd have the initial cost of the litter box but it would last. It'spretty common here to find it for about 10€ but I am not sure how much it would cost there and if you're okay with that or not.You can even take the door off if they like that better. :)

I have a closed plastic bin outside filled with sand (children's play sand)that the buns can play with but Maybelle pee'd in it and it's soiled so I have to replace it. It's great if it's outside, but it's quite nasty to clean inside. :expressionless

You can even throw in a paper towel roll, bunched up newspaper, shredded newspaper, hay, straw, etc. :)
 
Oooh that's so cheap :O here the cheapest is S$55 for one :L
I'll start saving up then. And give them my old clothes to rip up or chew lol :p THANK YOU <3
