LuckyChickenLover- Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Hi all, I was just wondering what potty litter you guys use in your bunnies' toilets. The 'Critter Litter' that is made by the same company that makes the toilets is so expensive! Up until now I have been using Catsan, which is pretty much the same but only a fraction of the price, but recently I think they must have changed how they make it because it's not nearly as absorbent as it used to be . I've changed to 'Wood Litter'from Pets at Home, which so far I'm pretty impressed with, but I was wondering if there is anything else out there that is better. That do you guys use/ would you recommend it? Thanks ~ LuckyChickenLover- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pagesguineas Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 I just use the PAH wood pellet litter with a layer of hay on the top. Used to use sawdust though and that was equally as good but worked out more expensive. The only problem I used to get with the wood pellets is if the buns decided to scratch around they made their run very dusty and it was a nightmare to sweep up - solved by having a hooded litter tray! Hope it helps Catherine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franklyrabbit Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Hi - I line a litter tray with newspaper and then add a generous layer of hay on top. Each day I just roll it up and put it on the compost and start again I used to use straw but found it difficult to store a bale of hay AND a bale of straw so I just use hay now (ha ha - they chomp while they poop!).

lillybettybabs Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 (edited) I use Catolet, After 11 years of having house rabbits this has always been the best for me. Edited April 6, 2011 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franklyrabbit Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Yes, hay in litter trays doesn't really work for the indoor litter trays - it gets everywhere! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FudgeNessa Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Newspaper at the bottom and then wood shavings on the top and I clean it out daily. Has always worked well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rachel19 Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Ours are outdoor bunnies but I have a litter tray (roasting tin actually) that i fill with sawdust. I'm now wondering whether to just use soil from the garden and change every day as it can just go straight back to the garden and everything can degrade properly. Would be a lot cheaper too. Has anyone tried this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topcattoo Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 We use PAH wood litter, tried Catolet but they just kept eating it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lillybettybabs Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 We use PAH wood litter, tried Catolet but they just kept eating it! Be careful if using the woodbased litter, If the rabbits eat it it will expand inside their tummys. Catolet doesn't do this and is chemical free so it won't harm bunnies if they do nibble it.
