  Olaf recently started eating more hay, which caused him to start leaving little pebbles in front of his litter box. I moved the hay bag to the grid behind his box so now he eats and goes at the same time in the right place. Yay!
  
  However, he is picky about his hay and will pull a lot of it out and throw it in the litter box. I pick it out as often as I can so it doesn’t build up in there (he uses a corner box with a grid). Unfortunately, some gets under the grid and there has been a stronger aroma because the hay gets wet. I change the litter box every-other day (aspen supreme pellets with a paper towel liner underneath). Any suggestions for keeping the smell down or hay out? I tried making a cardboard “cup” to catch the falling hay but he tore it off. Narf.

  Raw apple cider vinegar (from the mother, it’s called) in water to eliminate urine smell. The teeeeeeeeeeeeniest amount will do miracles.

  Thanks! I have actually been using plain white vinegar forever but it seems to be more about the immediate reaction between him going and the hay getting wet. I just never noticed a strong odor before the hay started getting in the box. Maybe I’ll try another contraption to catch what falls out of the bag.

  Ah I should have specified. The apple cider vinegar (raw from the mother) goes in your rabbits drinking water!! You don’t clean with it.
