Rabbit Litter Size

in #animals6 years ago

Pay attention when placing the litter pan. In the beginning, you may find the bunny leaving pellets all. This is its way of marking the area out because its own territory. When it is confident in its possession of the space, it'll likely pick 1 or 2 spots to go frequently.

It's not likely to change this preference only since you decide on a pan of litter out, so you are better off adapting it by putting the litter pan where you prefer to go. In case your bunny consistently utilizes his food dish as a bath room, try scattering a bit of food in the skillet.

You might also put some treats in there to attract the bunny's interest. With regards to litter material, you will find a variety of options. Newspaper is an alternative, provided that it is printed with soybean. Newspaper isn't terribly absorbent, however, and does absolutely nothing to control odor.

Nevertheless, if you can really afford it, a commercial rabbit bedding can be your best choice. Many brands are available, many of that. This creates a fluffy, absorbent substrate which will go a substantial way toward controlling waste and odor buildup, in addition to being quite comfortable for your rabbit.

Additionally, there are litter pellets, which are designed to loosen waste and neutralize the ammonia which forms consequently. These also have the benefit litter pellets, that are intended to an excellent fertilizer for your garden.
