This litter clumps when exposed to moisture, and it can't tell the difference between external and internal moisture. Rabbits tend to nibble on everything, and should they ingest clumping litter, they risk a potentially deadly intestinal blockage. This recycled newspaper, pelleted litter is absorbent and can be flushed in small quantities. Liquid waste is absorbed by these pellets, which swell and become wet sawdust. Layers of newspaper and shredded paper topped with hay can be used in the litterbox, but we've found it may tempt rabbits to ingest large amounts of paper.
Rabbits also love to get a grip on the paper and make a big mess.
Economical and a good way to get second use out of the news, shredded paper may or may not work well, depending on your rabbit's habits. Selecting the right litterbox and litter for your rabbit will depend on the products you can find, as well as your rabbit's activity level and special needs. Some pet supply stores also carry the products mentioned in this article. House Rabbit Society is a non-profit rescue and education group. We welcome your feedback and appreciate your donations .
