 | Hi,
I recently got a rabbit for my daughter for Xmas.
Knowing absolutely nothing about rabbits, I bought a cage with doors at
the top, and it came with some bedding as well.
I put the bedding along the bottom of the cage, and put the rabbit in
there. I added a litter box in the corner as well, with recyled
newspaper litter for cats. Well, he started to drop his pellets and
urine all over the cage bedding, not just in one corner, but all over
the cage.
Should I not have the bedding in the cage? Is that what is confusing
him? The cage has a plastic bottom, but as I said, I have covered it
with the pine bedding.
Also, with the cage which opens on the top, and not the front, he won't
be able to freely get in and out once he is trained. Ugh, I should have
done my research.
Any advice/help?
Thanks

| Having the bunny hopping in pine bedding isn't the best. Some of them
are actually toxic to the critters.....think PINESOL. Go to the house
rabbit society website to get information on how to care for them or
find a reputable pet shop.

Luck.
