Much like a kitty, your bunny rabbit can do her business in a litter-box. It is vital to use the correct lining and dispose of the waste regularly. An unhealthy litter-box can lead to health problems such as kidney disease.

Documented scientific research has already shown that aromatic softwood beddings are potent enough to alter biological functions of the liver.

Good lining choices are:

  • Paper pulp
  • Dry grass pellets
  • Peat Moss (though it’s very smelly) Compressed sawdust pellets
  • Straw (chnge regularly)

Unhealthy lining choices:

  • Silica gel litters
  • Pine shavings Chemical sand.
  • Corn cob
  • Clay
