Hi bunny peeps. I'm new round here and just looking for some advice/opinions. Sorry this may be long.
I have 3 house bunnies (Alice, Cooper and Janis Hoplin), living together. They're all edging towards elderly (rescues).
Alice is the OG, found dumped by a railway at the start of lockdown. She's sassy and confident, but also the most trust worthy. Cooper adopted through a rescue to be Alice's friend. He is gentle, loves to snuggle people and bunnies, but he only has one eye and that is clouded so he's mostly blind. He misses the litter tray more than he finds it (urine and faeces). Janis was dumped on our doorstep last summer. She's become fast friends with the others but also misses the tray (she didn't initially but once bonded with the others I think she tries to mark over Cooper's accidents). If anything is left within her reach it is chewed.
They live in a large X-pen when I'm not there to supervise for their own safety (Cooper gets lost and panics, I can't bunny proof everything from Janis sufficiently to keep her safe). They have time out of pen every day and lots of toys in and out.
But the accidents...
I've tried different litter trays, hay racks, puppy pads... It just isn't happening. I thought I'd found success using a play rug from IKEA, it can go in the wash. But it was heavily soiled within 2 days and I can't keep up with that amount of washing turn around.
So I've found a giant plastic tray. It would fit perfectly to cover their whole xpen floor, over which I could put a sturdy layer of the wood pellets. Effectively making a giant litter tray. But I'm concerned about grip...
Opinions and ideas appreciated.
