Bedding

[sunshine43]

I would like to know what everyone prefers for their rabbits bedding. I have long hair and short hair.

Thank you I use hay I was just wondering what other people use

I thought pine shavings are poisonous to rabbits?
are they?

It is Cedar. I use pine when it is warm for my short hair bunnies

you mean cedar is poisonous, not pine?
i read that the dust from the pine is poisonous

Our (indoor) bunny has pine shavings in his litter box because it's cheaper--it gets cleaned out once a week. In the rest of his cage he has the carefresh pet bedding stuff--it's more expensive so it doesn't get cleaned out as often. But he doesn't mess it up, either...sometimes there's little turds in there or rabbit fur, but otherwise it's clean and dry.

I use pine shavings and have had rabbits for 3 years now. Never had a problem. I read about the cedar being bad for them. I would love to use the carefresh bedding but I have 18 bunnies and that would be too expensive.
