Litter is very important to keep your bunny clean and odor free especially if it's an indoor bunny. Good sanitation if of utmost importance in maintaining good health.

When making a litter choice you want to choose something that will keep the bunny clean and is easy for you to change. Under no circumstances should pine or cedar shavings be used. The aromatic oils in those have been shown to increase liver toxins.

Carefresh or any other paper pulp litter is usually good at absorption of liquid but can be costly. Shredded paper that is free of chemicals or plastic is economical but doesn't always keep liquid away from the bunny or keep odors under control. Spreading some hay on top may help and gives the bunny something to munch on while it's in the litter box. Hay placed in the litter box on top is suggested for any type of litter. Some people use rabbits pellets with some success. If you purchase a large bag, it can be economical. The bunny generally won't eat pellets that are soiled.

Clay litters for cats should never be used. A bunny may develop a blockage if it eats any of it. This can be fatal. Peat moss has been tried with good results for absorption properties. However, we can't recommend it because of some concerns we've seen in some rabbits that have been on it. Always check your bunny under their tail to make sure it's not wet or soiled with feces. If it is dirty, then a change is needed either in frequency of cleaning or litter type.

What to put the litter in depends on the size of the bunny. The bunny has to be able to hop in and out easily and be comfortable inside. Plastic cat litter boxes work well or plastic tubs or containers big enough for the bunny.
