Frequently asked questions
Why not pine sawdust? Pine and cedar emit aromatic phenols, which irritate mucous membranes and can cause liver disease in small rodents.
Can newspapers be used? It can be used as a substrate for the main filler, but not as a base - printing ink is harmful, newspapers do not absorb.
The rabbit eats its litter - what should you do? If it eats sawdust or hay, that’s normal. If it is paper or corn, switch to hay as the main bedding.
