We started out with shaving for bedding. But we found disadvantages to shaving. They seemed to end up every where and on everything it was near.
Granted with any pet you're going to have to clean and refresh bedding, water, cage.
Yet we looked to another way.
We tried newspaper. Kenji shifted the paper around and gnawed on it. So we got rid of the newspaper.
In the end we just chose to have hay so he could graze through out the day.
As far as peeing and pooping, Kenji chose specific spots to do his duty.
Rabbits do burrowing activity and like a den like place. It is a natural instinct to burrow. His cage has a covered area that is similar to a burrow. It makes them feel safe.
Kenji became fond of a red soft towel. He'd do a little burrow movement, then stretch out to relax. Sometimes he'd fall asleep for a time there.
We discovered that Kenji also loves Boxes. They're are den like. Yet they are also a place to hop on and off of.
We started with just a couple of boxes. Kenji checked them out first. Then he would hop on one. And hop off .
There was a ottoman in the room. Kenji found he could jump on that.
It was a soft place to rest, too.
There was the time I ordered a new comforter for our bed because it was getting worn. I ordered it online. When it was delivered I brought the package in. Kenji had been hanging out in the living room. As soon as I came in with this package, he came over to me and sniffed the box. :D
My daughter brought the box up stairs and made a bunny box house for Kenji. She placed the soft red towel inside. He loved it.
It was entertaining to watch him move around the room to different spots.
Kenji would hop back and forth with excitement.
