Why litter is so important
The litter box is the heart of a bunny's daily hygiene. It's not just about keeping the house clean, but also about the animal's well-being and health. Bunnies are naturally tidy and quickly learn to use it, but their experience depends on the quality of the material chosen .
What to absolutely avoid
Not all litter is suitable for bunnies. Some materials, though common, can cause more problems than benefits:
-
Low-quality sawdust and shavings: they release fine dust that irritates the eyes and respiratory tract.
-
Sand or gravel: not very absorbent and risky for paws.
-
Scented or treated litter: masks odors but releases potentially toxic substances.
These solutions may seem practical, but they often lead to a less healthy environment and more frequent cleaning.
The characteristics of a quality litter
A good litter box should ensure comfort, safety and practicality. Here's what to look for:
-
Natural, compact pellet: free from additives, safe to chew if accidentally swallowed.
-
High absorbency: retains liquids and odors longer.
-
Zero dust: protects the respiratory tract and keeps the environment healthy.
-
Gentle on paws: dry and protected from irritation.
-
Olfactory neutrality: odorless, without artificial fragrances.
-
Sustainability: biodegradable or compostable, easy to dispose of without polluting.
Happy paws, happier home
Choosing the right litter really makes a difference. Poor quality materials can lead to unpleasant odors, irritation and stress for your pet. A quality litter , on the other hand, makes your home cleaner and allows your rabbit to live a more relaxed life. In short: happy paws, happy family .
