just starting

Hi All, have now got hutch sorted, and wondered what you all use in hutches ( will be outside but well sheltered )
I'm thinking Hay and sawdust? and maybe cat litter ( wooden pellets ) in litter tray. Also have not got cover yet, just wondered if you have any tips other than buying new ( cover nearly as much as hutch!! ) just don't want it to look a mess as the hutch itself is quite attractive. ( be better with rabbits in I know! ) Visiting rspca tomorrow to have a look at a few pairs that need rehoming.

In the day bit I line with newspaper in the summer and add hay in winter.

I put cat litter trays into their beds, lined with newspaper and hay and they do their toilet there. I stopped using wood shavings because it was messy and it got stuck in Gloria's mane (she a lionhead).

I use tarpaulin (sp?) to keep mine dry, with a helpful partner we created a cover that works quite well.

I just have straw in the sleeping area, but hay in a large hayrack for feeding. Like Nickie, we found sawdust to be really messy so don't use it anymore. Once we knew where rhe buns preferrred to toilet we put a litter tray there and now they use that so cleaning out tendes to be fairly easy

hey thanks for the replies we seem to be getting on Ok with a tarpaulin over the hutch but now the weather is definitely getting colder at night thought I might add a layer of bubble wrap or some some sacks for more insulation?? Both bunnies were using the litter tray but then suddenly seemed to stop, any tips for litter training?

That's good news
You'll find some oldeer threads on litter training here, which may help

Thanks I think the problem seems to have sorted itself out, they are now more or less using the litter tray.

I use straw plenty in the winter and wood pellets in litter tray with plenty of hay.On cold nights i cover up with old blankets
