I did not have any problems with the shavings either but megazorb is similar in cost so currently trying that. What is Beautipet litter? I haven't heard of that one, also, is it expensive? I used to use newspaper but I stopped using it incase they got ink poisoning from the ink, so now I use shredded paper and they love it!
Newspapers ok, as long as they dont eat it. It also helps keep mites at bay as they cant stand the ink and stay away :D. I must admit I use shredded newspaper in their litter trays and they do eat it, :roll: :roll: , but not too much as they have never had any probs, i also shred all letters n statements etc n give them that, theres less ink so its probably safer for them to nibble on :D.
Beautipet is about 1. I use newspaper never had any probs, it is covered with shredded paper and hay though.
I use woodshavings for the G. Pigs with no problems. Delphinium - I get Beauticat which is the same as Beautipet and you can get it in bigger bags. I get it from my local pet shop, perhaps yours can order it in for you if they dont stock it??? Now use Pets at Home own compressed wooden stuff.
Yes I know, I hate the place too. I just put it in the wee corner and litter tray. Fern used to eat the wooden cat litter and the newspaper - she only once suffered from stasis and we later found a v large hole in the carpet so assumed that was the cause.
I guess its bunny dependent, and its trial and error for us all. Fern used to eat the sawdust too :shock:, and bricks from the fire place - her teeth still grw too much! LOL Henry tries to eat the fake coals from the fire! I have a picture of him in the chimney to prove it Thanks for all your useful tips. The new buns are coming on Saturday so we are getting everything ready. Newspapers usually use vegetable-based ink so stick with those. Avoid shredded paper like magazines or pamphlets or any other paper whose purpose is to be mass-produced because those companies would often get the cheapest paper they can without thinking about safety.
Generally, newspaper ink is fine to be used as bedding for rabbits because its ink is vegetable-based which is comprised of soybean oil. And finally, make sure that your rabbit is eating enough hay when they are ingesting large amounts of shredded paper.
Hay would reduce the chance of your rabbit getting an intestinal blockage. The shredded paper itself is not harmful to rabbits unless your rabbit is ingesting large amounts of paper without eating enough hay — which could cause intestinal blockage.
Vegetable-based ink is most commonly used in newspapers. Avoid using shredded magazines, pamphlets, or any other prints that are mass produce because those companies are more likely to pick the cheapest ink they can regardless of safety. Yes, shredded paper is harder to clean because shredded papers would absorb the urine and makes it sticky.
Not to mention when your rabbits play, it gets everywhere so you would have to hunt those pieces out. For easier cleanup, stick to wood pellets. Avoid shredded papers made with magazines, pamphlets, or mass-produced paper because companies that made those tend to cheap out on ink without thinking about safety.
It could also cause intestinal blockage if your rabbit is ingesting large amounts of paper without eating enough hay. Also, shredded paper is harder to clean than alternative beddings because once it gets wet, it sticks to the cage, making it harder to clean. Sources and further reading. Previous post. Next post.
