Polyester Bath mats?

Ambience

Warren Veteran
I bought some bath mats from the pound store that are made out of polyester the other day, they don't have any rubber on the bottom- are they safe for putting in the buns hutches? They were only a pound each so I'll throw them if not :)

Cheers x
 
Is that just standard bath mats (without the rubber backing)? I have used them before and had no issues...obviously as with anything they're not good to use if bunny starts to chew it to bits :lol: but yeh they should be fine to use...my bus did nibble a few holes out of a thin one I used but then left it an the subsequent ones alone.


I have rubber back ones in the playhose at the moment and they're doing well :)
 
Thanks i tried them tonight. They immediately were peed on. Shows what my bunny's think to them :) They are quite straightforward to wash- not too big which is good.
 
Oh yes mine piddle widdle on all their ones :lol:...fortunately bath mats do well at absorbing the wetness and dries quite quickly compare to say a rug or towel.

If the mat only has a few damp patches on it then I just pop it in the tumble dryer of a morning and wash it when it is badly stained otherwise I would be washing the mats every day, which isn't ideal really as it is not my machine I use and the future mother in law can be funny about bunny stuff going into the machine :lol:

Think I'll just use a bucket of hot water - i can use detergent once a week- but I've noticed they are peeing on them just as they would do anything i put down on the floor. They do seem much easier to clean though and dry out.
