Choosing litter for your Indoor Rabbit Cage
You need something that will absorb urine and odour, be easy to handle and dispose of, and that isn't hazardous to your rabbit.
Do not use wood shavings or sawdust indoors; they go everywhere and can also irritate rabbit paws and noses.
The simplest solution is a handful of hay or straw on top of newspaper, however be aware that newspaper is not very absorbent and must be changed every day to avoid odours.
Wood, paper or straw-based cat litters are the most popular choices for indoor rabbit owners, but avoid 'clumping' clay based litters as these can cause intestinal obstructions in rabbits.
