I cleaned out charlie this morning, I have a bag of totally rubbish hay from pets at home, so instead of using wood shavings I emptied that all over floor lol not feeding him it at its far to small pieces not going to do anything for his teeth, I am changing to straw from the farm when all the shavings and bags are finished, do you think this is a better option instead of wood shavings anyway.

Deffo! Wood shavings can irritate the respitory system in buns (and me!) and straw is a great insulator.

Straw is good except if you have one of the rare bunns that happen to like straw and are preferring it instead of hay.

Going to teh farm to get a bail of straw when the bags run out, also have a big bail off hay so might put that under the straw as extra depth, I have used it on the cages 1 end is full with straw and hay and a chew tube has been pushed into the bundle creating a burrow like space and they seem to like this, wont last long they are getting fat and wont fit in the tube much longer, I decided time to bring the wee ones into the house and run about the livingroom with them, till the run is built. bloody weather.
