My bunny stays in an unused toilet of mine, I just put the eating hay on the tiles. Whenever I clean the litter box, I put the hay that she didn't finish in the litter box, and give her fresh hay for eating.
My bunny is already litter trained, so I put hay there not to train her. It is more for a softer layer to stand on without standing right on the pellets. And they like to hang out around hay anyway.
The dangers of pine and cedar shavings is not direct contact, but the fumes that come from the wood in its unprocessed form. Small animals that breathe in those fumes long periods of time are likely to have health problems. Wood pellets ,on the other hand, are often processed to remove the oils that create those fumes and are safe, compared to any wood shavings. Some people say aspen shavings are safe but then its best to avoid all shavings. |
