My bunny has the very small beginnings of hock sores. Right now 97% of her flooring is carpet. There is a tiny bit of wood area that she does not use very much. Has anyone tried Memory Foam for flooring? Any suggestions? Thanks!

The best option would be some towels, blankets, or puzzle foam mats (like these: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Everyday...-965-170c9cc87a5e80&athancid=null&athena=true). Some rabbits will chew the puzzle mats so remove them if she chews them.

I use those memory foam mats that are made for the bathroom. She likes it it’s super soft for her feet. She even sleeps on it to, but I know that some bunnies like to chew on them too you might want to test it out with your bun first. I use that and blankets know for my room I don’t use fleece blankets, they aren’t that cushiony as the regular ones.

Blankets and soft rugs work for my Rex. He doesn't enjoy chewing them as much as he would foam mats and it helps his hocks. I wouldn't use fleece blankets as sometimes it can make sore hocks worse but I use old duvet covers and Ikea blankets on my floor. It looks okay, because I have started to use a colour scheme but if you don't mind using a few old blankets and don't care too much about looks, I'd say its a good option.
