What bedding do you use?

Treacle44 · Jun 1, 2006

Need to make a list of what we need to get and just wondered what you use bedding?

I used to use newspapers as liners, wood chippings (sawdust) and hay.

Does anyone use the trays in their outside hutches? If so where do you get them from?

Thanks

I lay down a layer of newspaper, then cover it in plenty of hay. Then when I'm cleaning them out I just pull of the excess hay and put it into a bin bag, then roll up the newspaper and pull that away with the rest of the bedding. It only takes about 5 minutes to clean out which is good.

I don't use trays for the bedding but if you can get ones to fit they would be useful. You could probably use those garden trays that you plant seeds in. I do use a litter tray in their toilet area though, you can get these at most pet shops.

And Hay in the rest of the house, thats how I do all 9 hutches

litter trays are a good idea, i dont have one at the mo but will get one because there easier to keep clean, i clean my bun out every day and she has lots of hay and newspaper and her wee still soaks through, its hard to keep the wood dry :?

You could line the hutch with lino, it stops the wee soaking through to the wood and makes it much easier to clean!

I use a large cat litter tray inside the hutch , his hutch is outdoor and over 6ft 6 long so plenty of room .I use newspaper sawdust also hay still.
I line the litter tray with newspaper and put sawdust in it.He uses his litter tray but still uses the corner of his hutch also.

I use 2 cat litter trays in the run part of the hutch, filled with Megazorb, and newspaper, Megazorb, straw and hay in the hutch.

Thanks peeps, litter trays are the way to go then it seems.

Think I'll get a cat one for the sleep area so they can snuggle down and a corner one for the downstairs part of the run as a litter tray.

I've got lino all over the bottom of hutch, then vet bed in the main bit, and newspaper and hay in the other bit, She has 2 litter trays in the main part, one she wee's in, the other she sits in - fill them both with hay too. xX
