Litter for bedding?

[LovableLops]

So instead of bedding like aspen shavings i was thinking about using a pelet type litter. Yesterdays news is WAY to expensive so could i use the pine pellets they sell at farm stores? would that be ok? its a lot cheaper too and wouldnt create a mess like shaving which is EVERYWHERE!

Just don't use bedding. It will confuse the bunny as where they are to poop and pee. It's much easier to litter train when all they have is the litter box and not the whole cage lined with litter.

but without litter they go all over the cage and lay in the pee and poo :yuck Ewwww.

Thats why you get working on litter training any mess they make put into the litter box.

What bout them getting dirty? does it always work? the litter training?

is the pine pellet litter stuff safe to use on rabbits?

What kind of a cage/pen do they have?

I have a box of pine pellets for litter and a box of hay, they poop and pee in both, but not so much on the floors -- which are corroplast, linoleum or vinyl.

With the messy guys, I just use newspaper and toss it if it gets bad.

it is a wire cage with plastic bottom/base/tray.

I agree, keep working on the litter training and ditch the bedding. Is your bun neutered yet? If not it should be a lot easier once he is. Cover the plastic floor with something slightly absorbent like cardboard, newspaper, towel, rug, etc. Just throw away or wash when it gets dirty. I use Feline Pine pelleted litter in the litterboxes and put hay in a corner of the box to encourage them to use it.
