I use regulare litter like cat litter but theysometimes fling it so if you have a high litter pan that would work ori have also seen corn cob litter but that doesnt cover bunnie odersvery well:dude:

I don't use litter, my buns just poop where they want pretty much.



As for the cat litter, I'm pretty sure that its posted on heresomewhere that its not good for them. It has chemicals I think that ifthey eat it or inhale it, it can be fatal.

So, if you're using cat litter, please switch to something different.

I think there's shredded newspaper called "Yesterdays News" that you can buy, and it makes a good litter for them.

I use Cel-Sorb. I'm pretty sure you canonly get it at Pet Supplies Plus. I also use it for myferrets. It is cheaper then Yesterdays News and the like, butI think it works just as well. I tried Feline Pine, but Ididn't like the way it crumbled and seemed to get stuck on theirfeet. A lot of people on here use Woody Pet. I'mthinking I might try that because everyone seems to think it is so good.

You should never use cat litter. It can be deadly ifthey eat it. Plus the perfumes in many of them are bad forthe respiratory system.

[lop_lover16]

Wow the pet store lied to me they told me that itwould be ok gosh i think ill just take my busnisses to anouth placeeven if i have to drive 99 miles

 

[Lassie]

I use this stuff called meow news.

The wooden based cat litter pellets you can get in the UK are very similar to Woody Pet and are fine for rabbits.

Yesterday's News is good too and you can get that over here (though not round me)

I use Woody Pet because I was lucky enough to have the suppliersdeliver when they were passing my door. It's cheaper and smells more'woody' but it's not really different from the wood cat litters, I'mjust addicted to the smell .

The dangerous cat litters for rabbits are the 'clumping' ones and thechemically absorbent ones that can turn to gel, andany stufflike that. I personally wouldn't use those for my cats either.

If you do change over put a little bit of the stuff you're used to using on the top at first so Lucy gets the idea .

Hi Varna. I agree with Kate on this one - I use awood based cat litter that I get from Jolleys, called Pampuss, which issuitable for rabbits as well. Tesco also sell one (can't remember thename ) which is suitable, but is more expensive. -Jan

Unfortunately, the majority of pet store owners and employees know little about the rabbits they sell.

 

[DaisyNBuster]

I use wood based pellet. I use for my Ferrets and Cats too, so its economical for me to buy it in bulk.


BTW you can buy this at most supermarkets too, not just petshops so thats a bonus.

Oh boy...I get to say it again....

WoodyPet !

It's the "bunniehugger's binkie"

:~) Jim

 

[Spiced77]

like rowan mentioned, the wood and paper basedcat litters are fine. there is also one called cat country which iswheat grass based. that one's ok too however for odourcontrol, yesterdays news really works for us! (the non scented one ofcourse)

Jim, you know I love that stuff too, but...... have you had any thatsmelled really strong? It's almost like our new bag got dampor something..... smells like wet wood all through my house and it'snot his litterbox.

I also wonder if that guy you know (it was you right?) could answer that for me.

Another possibility is that when I got to the end of the last bag it's got more "dust" and if he's wet in that.......
