Also has very poor absorbancy compared to shavings. Shavings are cheaper too

but shavings are pine, all the books say pine is poision for rabbits

they will wee in a poo tray if you put one in.

 

[CinquePunto]

they have "litter" trays which have like wood shavings (special pet bedding stuff) in which they seem to use - a lot

the straw is just to keep them warm, and they have meadow hay to eat along with rabbit pellets, and fresh veg everyday.

Thinking about it, they're better off than me...

 

[dave]

why dont they live in the house then? if you put poo tray in the house they will use it

I think female rabbits carry straw in their mouths when they think they are pregnant. False pregnancies are frequent during the spring months especially in female rabbits.

perhaps its a bit of a "harebrain"

Directly ingesting pine would probably be poisonous........................
