Indoor digging box

What do other people put in digging boxes for indoors?

I was thinking paper but Nutmeg will definitely wee on that (though knowing her she'll probably wee on whatever i put in there!). Sand or compost is far too messy for indoors. We're kinda thinking maybe turf or some sort of wood chips?

Would wood chips be ok for them?
 
I dump several+ cut up cheap blankets and old towels into the dog bed and they go to town :lol: Same with Donny and Lola, they have loads of blankets in their house as they dig everything out so it's just easier to clean up than hay :lol: They're easy to wash too if they get weed on, I shake them and stick them in a pillow case for the washing machine.
 
That's a good idea, they dig on their blankets now but if I cut them into rags then they could have a proper rummage. :thumb:
 
I used scrunched up newspaper when Frosty and Snowflake were indoors (oh God they were wonderful). They really enjoyed it. No wees but a few poos esp if I hid pellets in there.

Unfortunately Nutmeg is a nightmare for weeing. :roll: On their blankets, middle of the floor, right bang next to a nice full litter tray. I think whatever I put in she'll wee though. :?

What's auboise like?
 
It's like small wood chips, except it's hemp. It would be easy to just chuck away if it gets soiled.

That sounds like a good idea, i'm pretty sure they sell it where I buy my hay bales. I'm going tomorrow, might see if i can get a sample.
 
Horse supply places sell Aubiouse, I used GJW Titmus. It comes in large sacks, over 100 litres uncompressed.

I use aubiose in my buns litter trays - its great...the wee soaks to the bottom so the top is dry for their feet. It absorbs very well & lasts ages. Its also phenol free as its not pine...so much better for buns respiratory. ;)
 
Good thing I found this post since I was having a hard time on what to put in my rabbits digging boxes. I am thinking on getting a wood chips but changed my mind after reading this to cup cheap blankets and towels instead.
