Aspen bedding

[misssara.k89]

Does anyone know how good aspen bedding is for bunnies? I heard it's amazing but wanted some input

It's not bad for rabbits, but imo way overpriced compared to other beddings, such as (heat-treated) pine.

I've never heard of heat treated pine. I heard pine was bad for bunnies

As long as the pine is heat treated/kiln-dried (most pine is; at as a lot of the pine sold for animal bedding such as at the feed store) it is okay for them. It's when you get the fresh pine shavings that's really aromatic that it's bad for them. Pine pellets are quite commonly used as well as pine shavings; the pellets are super easy to clean up and more absorbent than the shavings are.

I remember you asking before about bedding vs litter. Is your rabbit housed outdoors or in? What kind of housing do you have for your rabbit? Indoor rabbits typically don't have loose bedding on the cage floor.
