Bedding?

Hey Guys, so im a new member of Rabbits United and this is my very first thread.
I've heard different views on what bedding to use in my rabbit hutch. For example, i was told not to use wood shavings as these cause problems. I know hay should not be used for bedding. What would be best to use on the floors of my hutch im getting a new one and i want to make a new start.

Right now im using :

newspaper
wood shavings
Straw

for bedding



THANKS

p.s. please, i am new and quite young so please dont judge me too harshly if i have done anything wrong. Thanks again X) :wave:
 
I prefer not to use hay as bedding as my two monsters turn the hutch into a giant litter tray :roll: but do make sure there is plenty of fresh hay for eating!

I use a carpet runner on the bottom floor of the hutch and straw in the "bedroom" :wave:
 
Welcome to the forum :wave:

Wood shavings are bad for health so well done for thinking to change them :) You could use newspaper and a blanket in one area then hay in the rest? I have a shed with a dog crate in it as a base for my buns and in the base they have newspaper, a blanket, a litter tray with newspaper and hay in it then hay in the other areas of the crate.

If you could get a litter tray, cat litter trays or underbed storage containers work well then that would make cleaning easier for you, rabbits are usually fairly easy to litter train.
