Do you keep your bunnys in or out? I use the pine pellets in my older rabbits litterbox and i never smell the urine.I clean it out every 2-3 days.I put timothy hay in both the boxes.Im afraid to use a towel in her cage til shes potty trained.Where do you get that ECO bedding?
All my bunnies are inside. Right in my living room. When they were little (before potty training) cleaned their crate every day (litter box, towels). After potty training, every 2 days with no odors. The ECO bedding I get at the Pet Supply Store. Never used anything else. Absorbs wonderfully, easy to clean and biodegradable so goes right into the compost for future fertilizer for our garden.

As the boys got older, their urine got stronger. Can make your eyes water when cleaning their litter boxes. I think it's been a week since using ACV, and can't believe the change. The boys love the taste as well. And no more tears for me.

Mine are also in my living room.She is only 7 weeks old,would i be able to see her pee in the pine bedding? I dont think i can deal with this bedding til she gets older.I need to figure out something else.When i got my other bunny she was 7 mos.and my daughter couldnt potty train her.I put the pine pellets and timothy hay in her litter box and she went right to it,never had an accident again.
I don't know anything about pine bedding, sorry. But if she is only 7 weeks, you can definitely change the type of bedding now. I like the ECO bedding because I can see where my boys urinate. And once they get used to their litter box, you can see they actually pick the same corners to go. I always stick a little there once a day in their favorite corners to keep their feet out of the urine until it's changed the next day.

Do the same thing with your little one using the ECO bedding. The timothy hay attracts them and they do pee and poo while they are eating.

The pine bedding really soaks up the urine and covers the smell really well.The only complaint i have is the mess.Shes so furry it sticks to her bad.My other bunny is a short hair so it didnt stick so much.Her habitat will be on carpet like my other rabbit,once shes potty trained.Do they eat theECO bedding?

Not really. More interested in the hay. They did try it though. It's paper so it really can't hurt them.

That's one thing about longer hair rabbits, more grooming needed.

Glad I could help. She will be potty trained in no time. Rabbits are pretty smart in that area. Even a older bunny that never was trained can be trained in no time.

Regarding bedding, it is a little more expensive, but it fits our needs and we do get something in return after the use. Compost to help our garden. So it's worth it on our end.

Let us know how she is making out.

I was wondering if it was a good idea to put their cages next to eachother,so they can see eachother.I thought they would like it but now am wondering if its a good idea.My older rabbit is an unaltered female,and ive read they can get very territorial(sp?)I dont want her attitude to change.Shes so sweet.Any thoughts?

Just put a good buffer of about two or three inches between the cages. So they can't get at each other.

Dobby and Willard are doing very well next to each other. They have now started sitting with each other and visit. Now I couldn't do this with Kreacher because he's our little "Attitude King". He would try to get at Willard. In the dictionary, under the word testosterone, you will see Kreacher's picture.

I think they will have no problems living side by side. Actually it will be good company for each. Though they can't live together in one cage, they can live around each other. As long as they know what's theirs, is theirs. That seems to be the trigger to start fights. Territorial and dominance.

Let us know how you make out. Make sure you give them a day or two to "feel it out". Just observe.
