        Hey Ya’ll! I was wondering what type of bedding is the saftest for my rabbit to eat? I putting bedding down but she eats it!  I dont want her to eat it, but it is hard to keep her from eating it, so I want to know what type of bedding is the saftest.

                                                                Thanks for Reading!

          We used to use Carefresh bedding to line the cages and never had issues with it. I stayed away from the colored ones because of the color dye, but the natural one should just be 100% wood pulp. If you don’t want your bunny to eat the bedding, technically you don’t need it for cages that have a plastic bottom and/or if they use a litterbox. You could also think about getting an exercise/puppy pen and removing the cage altogether. It’s a better investment since they get more space to run around and saves money on bedding (it’s quite pricey).

            Cause we didn’t know any better when our Henry was bought home, we just used a cat litter tray lined with newspaper and topped with shredded paper and it did the trick nicely – we still use this for his litter to this day. And it costs us nothing – we shred our mail (for security) and if we are running short even shred catalogues to use. Yes, Henry nibbles on this too which causes me concerns, but he has never had an upset tummy. He always has a variety of food available at all times, hay, pellets (I/4 cup daily) and his assortment of veggies, so for the bit he eats I try not to worry too much. When we put straw in his litter tray to try and defer him eating the paper, he just chews the cardboard boxes under my bed, so went back to plan A! Silly (naughty) bunny!

              Baby Daisy – is your bun still outside?

              If so, I would keep going with the bedding and try straw. Straw will be fine for her to eat but she can also snuggle into it really well if it gets colder out. If she’s eating the litter, I’m not sure I would try anything besides the straw as you don’t want her to get a blockage.

                An edible bedding made from compressed wheatgrass:

                Though it may not be the warmest if your bun lives outside.
