HOUSING |
You should sweep or vacuum most poop (while leaving cecotropes) and wipe the housing floor with a washcloth or paper towel with a 10:1 water/vinegar mix at least once a day. As needed, you should give your whole rabbit cage or house a good spraying off with water and vinegar, and clean any crevasses with a wire brush.

Midwest Homes Ferret Cage
Pro's: It can operate as one cage, or can be divided if necessary. Both doors open wide for easy cleaning. Trays are easily removed. On wheels. Storage shelf. Adjustable lounging shelf. Great for rabbits that will spend more time in their cage than roaming the house freely. Con's: The ladders are a bit awkward for rabbits. I don't use them in mine. The trays are a grooved, molded plastic-this makes anything mushy a bit more difficult to scrub off. The first story is fairly high off of the ground-this makes it difficult to let your bun come and go freely. |

Pro's:

LITTER BOX
|
Ware Corner Scatterless Litter Pan
This pan is awesome! It attaches to the side of the cage so bunny can't throw it, has a grate for no shaving scatter, and molds to the corner, (which is where bunnies love to tee tee). Easy plastic for clean out. Buy the jumbo size. Place a thin layer of wood pellets on the bottom. Your litter box should be changed once a day. |
|
Tractor Supply Equine
Pelletized Bedding I put a thin layer of this on the bottom of the litter pan. The pelletized bedding is awesome for absorbing urine and eliminating the smell. Also ensures there is no wet, sticky, old urine stuck to the pan. Just dump and go. Use a putty knife occasionally to scrape out any old bits. |

Waterproof Bamboo
Mattress Protector This is one of my MUST HAVES! Rabbits are the most comfortable with you when you are on their level. The best way to achieve this is to lay down with your rabbit. I'm not to keen on laying on the floor. I want to lay on the bed with bunny, but I don't want an accident, hay, or spilt water on my comforter. This is genious....order this mattress protector one size BIGGER than your mattress. Make your bed AND THEN put the mattress protector on top of that. Hang out for awhile and when you're ready to go to bed simply remove the protector, shake it out in the garden, and throw it in the wash with any soiled bunny towels. |
TRANSPORT
WHAT NOT TO BUY
|
Soft sided carrier- Your bunny is fragile and they need to feel safe. The movement of the walls is disturbing to most buns. They are also not protected from impact with a soft carrier.
|
|
Front loading only carrier- You will find it difficult to get your bun in and out, and your bun will find it stressful each and every time. Loading and unloading from the top is best.
|
|
Pine Chips/Shavings (SMALL FLAKE)- They are messy, too dusty and therefore bad for your bunny's respiratory system. If your bunny is housed in a large area that will accommodate Pine chips, only use "Large Flake" and "Low Dust".
