Your Rabbit Does NOT Need Bedding

[@SassyShelly]

I only use bedding in the litter box. Pine pellets on the bottom, very thin layer of bedding over that and hay on top

[@AmuJaneTV]

I do the exact same

[@keysig3022]

I got two rabbits one loves floor and the other one rather be on carpet😂😂

[@AmuJaneTV]

@@keysig3022 one loves digging my garden and the other loves sunbathing under the shade in my garden 😁😁😁😁😁

[@jocelynneville8504]

I just use pine pellets with a pile of hay on one side. That's a really good idea, though! Because she loves digging around in the fluffy bedding. I'm going to do that.

[@Tanya_loudestgarden]

We do the same. Especially since we have 2 baby bunnies who pee and poo alot. It does help keep them dry. I do think I need a bigger litter box for my babies.

My bunny loves laying in cardboard boxes so anytime I get a package from Amazon I give him a new box and and he loves it

[@renukach.mallick2204]

[@tankhuncarps]

Mine too. Maybe because here its hot all the time that why mine like to sleep on the floor. I tried giving him a bed, towel, small carpet anything, and he wouldn't even look at them.

[@guitarman4242]

Yep, hard, flat, cool surfaces are what rabbit's like best. The bunnies I've taken care of love cool tiles to lay on and sleep. Great insights here and good topic to introduce to new rabbit owners. You and Ellie are the best.

[@williambreeze2659]

Funny you bring up rabbits pushing out their bedding so they can lay down. My bunny Luna has been doing that, even when I just clean the cage she'll push it all out. Today I'll be trying to use a towel lol.

[@karietothepowerofbooks5205]

I have been going through that realization for months. When I first got my rabbit we use the bedding, but like you said, he just ended up digging it out. Now there’s a towel if he wants to use it, and I just use that bedding for litter. I find it works really great for that. And I know it’s been said before, but God your channel is so underrated I have learned so much from it probably more than any other resource, and I have used quite a few resources over the last months.

[@devra003]

I use it for litter. It's easier to get than the other stuff you mentioned recycled paper cat litter. Plus I clean it out every other day. I don't have the luxury to use towels ( I can only do laundry on weekends). Plus he likes to chew on them and I can't keep them in his cage without fear of him eating it. As for where mine sleep, he likes a dog bed. He uses the edge as a pillow. Mostly during the day I'll find him in his hut laying on the bed. At night he'll sleep on the hard floor. He also likes grass straw mats to sleep on.

[@thunderklap241]

You're channel has been so helpful with my new little guy. I didn't know you had a store. You should mention it more often.

[@thebaselinestudio]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I just adopted two bunnies, and the lady I got them from didn't use bedding, but when I got to the store, I thought I needed it. I quickly searched on YT to see if I needed it and found your video. I appreciate your help.

[@FloridaArtist777]

Thank you for sharing these ideas! Much appreciated! I have a cardboard box that they use to go in hide in if they want (I have two brothers) and they sometimes sleep on top of the box, which is much softer than the floor, so this is their preference. I'm going to also get them a hammock. One of my bunny brothers is an adventurer, so the hammock would be an adventure for him more than just another place to sleep. Although they both get plenty of adventure. They sleep and eat inside in a very large cage and then every day we either bring them out to the porch or an outdoor grassy run we created so they can run around and do binkies. We bring them outside around 6pm when it's cooled down outside but before the mosquitos come out. We also have chicken wire as a roof for the outdoor grassy run because we have hawks. Thanks again and God bless!

[@APotToPlantIn]

Oh my goodness. I can’t imagine not using bedding in my buns litter box. Having to use a towel or sheet every time I clean the liter is way too much work and washing. My buns lay/sleep on blankets, not the bedding. They are completely liter trained, and cleaning it just a matter of dumping it in a large trash bag and that’s it. I guess to each their own on this one.

[@spoingal]

she does say in the video that litter is the exception! this video is more about using the litter material for rabbits to sit and sleep on. i wouldnt recommend using a towel as litter either haha

You are so sweet. From the day I brought my bunny home, he has ben roam free, never had a cage and determined his own spaces. I tried hideouts etc...no go.... He figured out where to do his business in his litter boxes filled with litter called Yesterdays News....very easily, like a cat! Thankfully, I work from home and my bun is by my side constantly (ues even when I go to bathroom)...my sleeptime, brings extreme love bombing...lol. I am groomed every night. Soo sweet. My bun is only 7 months old. He adores flat surfaces, comfy blankets etc is great but only on my bed. You are sweet and smart :). Ohhh I am 51 years old!! You are an inleeigent wonder.

[@katef9635]

I use horse stall pellets aka compressed/pelletized pine wood pellets as a thin layer on the bottom of my bunnies' litterboxes and since they don't like the feeling of poky wood pellets on their feet, I put a small amount of hay on top. Their litter boxes eventually get more and more hay on top of the wood pellets, and then I clean them out every few days.

[@karmareturns8663]

I’ve got carpet all over my floor and my rabbit have got his own beds (yes there are 2 beds) one right beside mine he likes to lay down there during day time and one is under my bed which he loves to sleep during night time.

I do use the bedding that is shown in the video. However, I put pine pellets in the box first and then some paper bedding on top of the pellets in hopes that the bedding will make it more comfortable for the rabbit when they are standing on the pellets. Also, I change out the litter and hay twice a day.

[@whatseriously1]

Thank you! I knew I didn’t need it because my local bunny rescue lady educated me when I adopted my bunnies but I kept wondering what it was for!😂

[@gracegill3619]

I’ve always used something like flannel for my bunnies bottom of their crates. They constantly chew it up or dig it out of the way so they can lay on the hard plastic. I always thought that had to be so uncomfortable! We use wood pellets for litter and I have a few small pieces of flannel or fleece or towels laid out around the crate if they want it! Most of the time they opt to lay on the cold hard plastic 🤦🏽‍♀️. They both free roam (separately bc one female would legit kill the other) and even still, they choose to sit in front of the fan or sit against the cold window! Such precious little babies!

[@nikitakask]

I don't know of what im doing is ok. I use normal wood shavings for bedding for my two baby buns. My dad made the wood shavings for me from wood blocks, and my buns tend to chew on it. I don't want them to have any health problems, so I want to know what could cause health concerns.

[@TheBunnyLady]

for wood shavings, it's best to stay away from aromatic woods, like cedar, but I think shavings that you created yourself from wood blocks would be fine.

Our rabbit has always slept on the floor either laid out on his belly or flopped on his side like a dog and it's really cute. He doesn't go near anything like pillows or blankets when he wants to sleep and we don't need to buy any bedding materials. For his litter I bought a bin from Walmart and some metal cooling trays that fit nicely over the top of the bin. Then I drilled 6 holes around the outside of the bin and zip tie the cooling racks over the top. Fill that with litter material and put their food on it until they learn to pee in the bin. Worked for me and our bunny is free roam and doesn't pee on the floors at all.

I only used paper bedding for a small period as litter for them. Then switched to small pet select wood pellet litter, after that, just stopped using litter because my bunnies will DIG and DIG at the litter, regardless at the time, and much prefer the large amounts of hay on their puppy pads. And boy do they love flat surfaces. I have a shelf, a four tier shelf, that holds most of my stuff, but the very bottom has a cushion and a fleece blanket over it as a hidey spot for them. But Xiao Wu LOVES laying on our vent because it's made of metal and really cool when it starts getting hot in the house. Tu Shen will flop just about anywhere he wants, even at my feet.

Is the point not to use "bedding" or a form of litter altogether. By the end of the video you mentioned a litter product. My main concern is something to absorb the moisture/odor. Bunny dad for over 20 years but always willing to learn more :)

[@AKINAacacia]

Just the shavings in the bottom of a cage. You can, and should, a litter box. Keep the litter box nice and clean. I save money by using free newspapers as a litter bottom with local barn hay as a topper so they don't sit in their pee and get urine scald.

I didn't even listen to this whole video right away. I read the title and then and then I clicked on it. I think I made it to 50 seconds when I paused the video and then dumped out all of my rabbit's bedding. I spent about 30 minutes cleaning out all the bedding from his enclosure and then vacuuming my floor. After that, I put my rabbit back in the enclosure with his litter box. I won't be buying bedding ever again. Now that that's all done, I will finish watching the video.😄😄

Question...... My rabbit has access to an outdoor hutch. He does his poops in that particular enclosure....which is fine during the day and when I'm at work. However, now its getting chilly in Oz, I have to close an adjoining balcony door (for access to that area) so he remains indoors and enclosed in his cage (during 9pm to 6 pm). How to I retrain him to understand 'now that you're indoors, you use this litter tray for your poops' ? . The only reason I ask, is that i find he holds in his poops till i open the balcony door again.

Okay I have 2 rabbits well you can get a decent size ex pen that is for dogs in Amazon where you can decorate the space and let your bunny to roam in that space, also get a Cat litter box where you can put in pee padsalso adding Timothy hay and pellet bedding from Small Pet Select they're really good and healthy for your bun, they also sell chew toys or you can make DIY chew toys for your bun to play.

[@dylanowens3173]

A sheet towel just traps moisture and stink smells of the rabbit, grass bedding brings bugs ad mice. I use soft insulation foam roll and foam puzzle mats. I had a domestic rabbit dumped on property. Made it a shelter out of old foam cooler and scrap ply wood wrap coveing. Then put old foam puzzle mat and soft insulation foam roll crumpled up on inside. This insulates it and is soft. And to clean just spray wipe it. These materials don't trap moisture, stink smells, and won't bring bugs, mice. This cheap shelter of foam cooler and foam mats, foam roll insulation work for cats , other animals and is super cheap

Our rabbit used to use the litter box but now she destroys her cage by moving her litter box and peeing or pooping on the rubber based mats we have. It’s not a daily thing we have to strip her pen of the mats ash everything. Any advice?

[@Barn_Editzzz]

I was a bit confused bc I use hay and bedding and a pee pad only in my rabbit’s litter box. I don’t use it outside of their litter box or any of that. I clean her box each week cause she doesn’t soil it very fast. I just have a mini dog bed, a shirt of mine, and a blanket from my rats one for comfort and two to get used to our smells. Otherwise I let her have the cold floor nice and open for her to hop, lay down, binki, stand on her hind legs etc. she sometimes dogs in her litter box but out of the month I’ve had her in a playpen, instead of a hutch (which I will never put her in again) she’s only dug in her box 2-3 times. It doesn’t bother her, it’s one of her favorite places to be in her pen. So I wasn’t sure if you meant don’t have bedding for the pen and everything else or just the pen? If you could clear that up for me, that would be awesome!

[@megnmccarty]

Does this advice apply to outdoor bunnies as well? We are in winter time right now in the Pacific Northwest. I currently use hay on the top layer as bedding and straw on the bottom layer. I feel like I want to keep something down for them. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

At 1:58 a whisp of cobweb or rabbit fur falls into screenshot on the left side. It's fascinating and quite balletic. Edit: I've come to rely on a steady stream of soiled straw to mulch my garden. I agree about the mess and the bugs so Sunday is breakdown day where I put the bunnies on some "pasture" outside and breakdown their hab area, pull it all outside and hose it down, sweep the floor. Then I give them a biscuit of straw to pull apart when I put it all back together. They are going to get hay everywhere anyway. A bale of straw is $10 and lasts for months. The fodder store even sells polythene bags you can put the bale into before you cut the strings so it's all contained. Before that I had a high wind come in and blow away a whole bale and the tarpaulin I had over it to keep it dry. There was straw all over the carport. lol.

[@WhenTheFoxGRlNS]

My main suggestion for you is that if you're going to use newspaper as litter or bedding for your bun, please make sure that the paper you're using is printed with a soy-based ink or other alternative. Most major newspapers today use these safer inks, but it definitely doesn't hurt to double check! Bunnies have VERY sensitive stomachs, and they are not physically able to vomit if they consume something that is toxic to them, so the best thing you can do is not give them that chance! Best of luck with your litter training and I hope your bun lives a long, happy and healthy life!

[@biancaking982]

Um my bunny has never ate the news paper. I simply lay it down and he only eats the hay and does his business on there .

I was simply given the impression that you were a relatively new bun owner, so I thought I should share some advice that I've picked up over the years. While I'm sure you're a good bun parent, truly, I only meant to say that we're all just human - looking away for even 60 seconds is all it can really take when it comes to the life and death of our buns. Of course, no one can actually do that, so bun-proofing their environment beforehand could make all the difference. If you find something truly works best for you and your bun though, then hey, keep it up! 🙂
