Towels?

[Gilfly]

I've read in several places ie this forum andbooks that our buns like towels to lie on.Sam likes 'digging' at it and nibbling it. I know they shouldn't munch oncarpet, so is towel bad as well?

Yes, any cloth can cause a blockage.See if he is actually eating it. My buns dig and pull attheir towels, but they don't consume any.

I used to put a small towel in my rabbits' cage,but came home one day and found Baby had gotten it caught around one ofher teeth. Poor Baby! I don't know how long she hadbeen that way - maybe all day. I felt terrible.

I use mats made out of Maize (I think thats howyou spell it) Got em at Pier1 for 80cents per square foot...they are insquares and you can cut em apaprt to fit etc. They are normally a buck,I got em on sale. My 3 seem to like em alot...and if they chew onem/tear em apart its not going to hurt them and cheap to replace!

OK this might sound sillty too but how can you tell if your bun is eating it or chewing??

 

[Midori-Chan]

It's quite simple. If there is cloth missingfrom the towel and you cannot see itstrewn about the cage,he/she may be digesting it.

 

[samandshawn]

Yeah may be!! but if he chews it up small its hard too tell

 

[ayglnu13]

Well......if it isso small that you can even notice that any is missing then I assumethat your bunny would be fine

mobile litter box.....bwahahahaha!!!!

Ellie does the same thing....but she does love to dig and nibble on itoccasionally. There are holes in the towel from her teeth,but there are no missing pieces. I'm 99% sure she is noteating any of it.
