Hi
I was wondering if i should provide my buns with a digging box. If so, what depth should it be and what shall I put in it?

they did have a litter tray but now they have a large tray from the bottom of my old rat cage it is probably 6ish inches deep and filled with child safe play sand

Bobby goes mental in the litter tray! It's great, it's £2.99 (or something cheap like that) from P@H and its got raised sides on it, that you can put up or down as you please. Mine have only 1 side down for easy access and when he digs around in the wee'd on woodshavings, they stay in the tray

My buns love their digging box, but they were making a huge mess, in the name of play. We replaced the dishwasher and now the dig box, plus phone directories, toilet rolls and chewy toys is in the dishwasher box! They scrabble to their hearts content, this was Maddie yesterday.

That chewed hole Maddie is poking her head out of, was all Flynns handy work, it was like a precision line, took him days and days. I couldn't have cut that any straighter with scissors.:lol: :lol:
