New Kit
Hi all,
New to the site (see Introductions) and need some advice...
We've had Rascal since she was very young and up till recently she's been a house bunny. However she never really seemed settled inside so we've bouoght her a large hutch with attached run so she can come & go as she pleases.
When she lived inside, she used to scrabble a lot & preferred to sleep on bare plastic rather than any bedding material. Now she's in her new hutch, she's still doing the same (including the mad scrabbling) but now it's causing more of a problem - she has a litter tray in the run section which she used for a couple of days (having been litter-trained already) but she now won't use it, preferring instead to use the bedroom end of her hutch. However, she is continuing to empty all the bedding out of her hutch so is peeing on the bare wood floor of her hutch which is obviously difficult to keep clean. In addition to this all the bedding is ending up in the run and is blowing around the garden.
We've tried everything we can think of - different beddings, a litter tray in the bedroom end (which made it worse - she scrabbled for about an hour non-stop) and vetbed to line the hutch which she rolled into a ball and chewed.
HELP ME PLEASE!!!
