I have always used newspaper and hay. It's been very cost effective given that at times I've been fostering up to 30 rabbits

Wouldn't they have more fun digging up little pellets and flinging them all over the place :lol:

I solved the 'going everywhere' problem by using high sided litter trays with a smallish opening to get in

I think the smelly Megazorb problem is isolated - I've never had a batch which smelt nasty, mine just always smells normal but I know others have had problems with stinky megaxorb batches

I use wood pellet litter and find it fab Just the cat litter one, it's cheaper.

I use Auboise hemp horse bedding for rabbits and hampsters as a big bail of it is around £10 and lasts for quite some time. no problems found with it so far. I compost it when it has been used and it rot down well and very quickly.
