Frequently Asked Questions about: Bedding for Rabbits and Rodents
What bedding to choose for an Angora rabbit?
When choosing bedding for your Angora rabbit, the goal is to find a product that is absorbent enough to prevent moisture. The bedding should not release dust microparticles. These are particularly irritating for your Angora rabbit’s airways. Ideally, the bedding should not cling to your pet's fur, ensuring them great comfort.
To meet all these quality criteria, you can opt for bedding made of cellulose, hemp, or corn.
Where to dispose of my rabbit's bedding?
If ecological issues, such as waste recycling or composting, are part of your concerns, it is possible to incorporate these concepts when purchasing bedding for your rabbit. Some products are labeled as compostable. You can therefore dispose of your pet's bedding with all other waste intended for the composter.
However, caution: if the mention "100% plant-based" is not on the packaging, you should simply pour the soiled bedding into a garbage bag and place it in a non-recyclable waste bin.
When and how to clean my rabbit's bedding?
Good hygiene in your rabbit's cage ensures their good health, just like a healthy diet. You will therefore need to take the time to change the bedding and clean the cage twice a week. Note that this frequency tends to increase during hot weather, as your rabbit is more likely to drink.
The process is relatively simple:
- remove all accessories from the cage and place them in a basin for thorough cleaning;
- then empty the litter tray into a large and sturdy garbage bag;
- you can dilute a little bleach in the cleaning water of the tray, provided you rinse thoroughly afterward;
- once the cage and accessories are washed and dried, just add clean bedding before putting everything back in place.
With what to replace my rabbit's bedding?
Wood chip bedding is a popular product in shops and online, but you have many alternatives.
- Hemp: simple and practical, this bedding comes in the form of a small mat;
- Corn bedding: absorbent, however, does not suit overly greedy rabbits that are tempted to taste it;
- Wood pellets: an economical and relatively effective alternative;
- Cellulose: with this highly absorbent material, you say goodbye to volatile substances and odors;
- Silica: a mineral litter, silica offers a high absorption rate, but you must ensure your rabbit doesn't ingest it.
How to train my rabbit to use its litter box?
Start by choosing an appropriate tray and bedding. For the tray, a cat model is perfect, with its wide edges preventing any overflow. Your rabbit then needs to understand where its "toilet" is located.
To do this, arrange the bedding, with a little hay, in the tray or a corner of its cage. Regularly, collect all its droppings and patiently place them on the bedding until your rabbit understands that this place is entirely dedicated to its needs.
Finally, never scold it if it relieves itself elsewhere. You would only scare it, and it wouldn’t understand. It’ll only learn through positive reinforcement.
