pododermatitis in my rabbit

[Constance]

Hello, my little rabbit has pododermatitis and I am looking for a mat that is neither too hard nor too soft for her.
Do you think this type of product is good for this type of problem?

thank you in advance for your help

Yes, that mat is suitable for a resting space. Ideally something similar is needed for all of the area she has access to.

Do you know what the primary cause of the pododermatitis is ? The condition is usually a secondary symptom of another problem.

no, the vet didn't tell me anything, except to find him carpets that are not too hard.
At home she is on the floor which is too hard for her little paws.

Thank you for your help I will order this mat

I would make sure that her toe nails are kept short. Having too long toe nails means the Rabbit takes too much weight on their hocks as their feet cannot be placed in the correct position as they come into contact with the floor.
