Rabbits are intelligent, affectionate and social animals that need daily interaction with humans or other Rabbits. Spayed or neutered Rabbits tend to be healthier, live longer, and are better companions.

Softwood litters i.e. pine shavings or sawdust newspaper, paper pulp bedding, wood pellets, paper pellets, shredded cardboard, straw and hay all make good bedding. The best is probably a combination of newspaper and hay since you feed hay anyway. Newspaper is also easily cleaned out.

Thanks for reaching out. Sound like you have a full house. 1. Birds will often bond together but continue to work with them in a quiet environ, offering treats to win and re-enforce trust. Toys, the radio or tv, can all assist with boredom. Setting up foraging toys so birds need to spend time looking for food. 2. There is no such thing as too big a cage. 3. Heating rocks are rarely approved for use, as they will eventually become faulty and get too hot, potentially damaging the animal. A heat lamp is recommended. 4. The bunny's litter box should be spot cleaned daily and full clean weekly. If you can smell it you waited too long. Good luck.

Thanks for reaching out about Vincent. Adding timothy hay to the litter pan might encourage use. When you see him urine out of the box, pick her up and place her in the box. Give a treat is urines or defecates. Pine shaving should be okay but paper products less dusty. Good luck.

Congrats on your new addition! It looks like you have everything you need. A water bottle wasn't listed, so if you don't have one be sure to pick one up at the local Petco. Rabbit safe chew toys can also be found at the store. Melo can eat as much timothy hay, oat hay or similar grasses as he wants. Do not feed him any alfalfa and limit pellets to about 1/8 cup daily. he can get a cup or two of fresh greens daily as well. If you have any additional questions, you can post them here.

Thank you for your question about Hazel. What you’re describing is very common, and often occurs when rabbits are in a larger space. Since rabbits go to the bathroom so often, they will utilize many spaces as a litter box. One thing you can try is to put a litter box in the area where she is going to the bathroom in the play pen. You can put some of the fecal pellets in the litter box as well. For litter, I would recommend using recycled newspaper pelleted litter or recycled paper pulp bedding. Sometimes they will end up laying in their litter boxes - if this occurs, you can provide them with two litter boxes which often helps. I hope that gives you a place to start, and thanks for using Boop by Petco!
