BF & I got into a HUGE fight yesterday over the bunnies, not aided by the fact they are pregant AGAIN!! and after spending our entire relationship taking care of a pregnant dog (of a former roomates), pregnant bunnies and worry about my cat getting pregant it's the last thing we want to do AGAIN (we love baby bunnies, but it would be nice to have a month to ourselves where no one is pregnant!! ).
Anyway he blew up at me about the smell of my bunnies & he's right - it totally doesn't bother me but it does bother him and since we're going to be living together really soon it is something I need to fix.
Right now the girls are on a pine litter bedding & a commercial litter. I clean the cage up of soiled bedding everday - but I might also just need a stronger litter.
What else can I do to reduce bunny smell?
Also the girls are spreading bedding EVERYWHERE as they make their new nests - short of taping carboard to the sides (eww!) is there anything I can do to discourage this behaviour?
Last time they were on a corn litter/bedding and I just gave them newspaper to rip up for the nest but I switched to pine shavings because it is SOOOOOO much cheaper!! (like $15 for two weeks vs $6 for... well probably about 5-6 months (horse sized bedding bag))
The other option is just that we build them a nice hutch & they can live out on the balcony, which isn't a bad thing, I just like having them in the appartment .
tx!
