Sawdust and litter.

I am allergic to sawdust, Luckely so are my ratties so we rub along fine. But what should I use where for the bunnie?? and what substrate should go in the litter tray? I use the wood pellets for the cat and ratties but I have read this is unsafe for bunnies.:shock: Help!

I'm sure bunnies can use pellets too. I used that for Aroma, though I've run out now.

I use megazorb but I know lots of people use the wood pellets. It's the phenol in them (and sawdust) that smells nice and 'piney' but phenol is supposedly bad for a rabbit's liver, as it's toxic and the liver processes all toxins. Rabbits have very delicate livers and bouts of gut stasis, anaesthetics, slightly poisonous plants etc all damage their liver to an extent, so the argument against wood based products is based on this idea of minimising stress on their liver, as stress accumulates over time.

Megazorb is also dusty if that's your allergy - you might like ecopetbed, which is shredded cardboard.

If they eat the wooden pellets... don't they expand in their stomach?:?

Megazorb is ace!

There are two stores in Northumberland!

^ thats what I was wondering! I have the phenol free stuff because rats are extreamly sensetive to this and respiritary tract infections is the single biggest killer of ratties
