Yes, I've also heard about the dangers of clumping cat litter. Yesterday's News litter is a very good litter, though. (it is for cats, but is safe) That was my brand of choice for years. If you get it in the cat section (not in the small animal section) you can get bigger bags and it will be cheaper.
I would add, though, that you should be sure to get the "unscented."

I used Yesterday's News until this past Spring when I switched to the wood stove pellets. They are more economical but work equally as well.

Make sure not to get the cedar or pine shaving either. Those will be in the rabbit section but they aren't good for rabbits, plus they are really annoying cause the shavings stick to their feet, and with Taz being part lionhead, it will get in her fur too. Pine pellets, yesterdeays news, or the kaytee granules will probably work best for you.

Is there a specific spot that Taz is peeing in? If so, try moving her litter box to that corner and it might help her be better at using the litter box.

I actually read a guys blog here on RO, about his rabbit dying because he was using clumping cat litter, and he didn't know it was bad for rabbits.

Ok, we will switch the cat litter. No, she's not really peeing in one spot.

yup, any kind of clay cat litter (clumping or non), pine shavings and cedar shavings are all bad for them. anything made with paper/paper pulp or hard wood (like aspen) is acceptable; pine is ok as pellets only (the harmful chemicals are removed during the process that turns it into pellets)

I bought new stuff made from recycled paper. It's supposed to be really good.
I'm still concerend about Taz; she just seems bored and depressed. I try to play with her, and she'll perk up a little, but when she was with Pepper, she would jump up at the cage when she saw someone. Now she just kinda sits and gets up to eat/drink/bathroom, and thats pretty much it. What happened to my sweet, fun baby?!

Oddly, whenever my little dog goes near her cage, she'll actually hop over to him and touch noses through the cage!

 

[Hyatt101]

Is Taz still just adjusting? Will she perk up some more? Maybe once her leg heals more and she's moved into the NIC cage, she will have more room and will play more.

 

[Hyatt101]

Any word from Kylie?

 

[JBun]

Give Taz some time. She probably just missees her mommy and Pepper. It's actually good that she's staying calmer right now and not running around too much. It will be better for her leg. When her leg is better and she's in her new cage, I'm sure she'll be running all over the place

That litter sounds like the right stuff. It's the unscented stuff right? Once her leg is better she'll probably be much better at using the litter box. It's probably just hard for her to jump in there everytime she has to pee.

 

[Hyatt101]

Yeah, its the unscented kind. I'm just hoping she'll adjust ASAP, because my mom gets frustrated if it starts smelling!

 

[NorthernAutumn]

Any animal with leg damage should not be jumping up any levels or ramps in an NIC until it is fully healed. TO be safe, you should be waiting a few months for the leg to strengthen before introduction into an NIC.

 

[Hyatt101]

Oh okay. Thank you!

Update: Taz is doing much better! She's getting around pretty good on 3 legs, still a little wobbly. She just keeps her other leg tucked and elevated. She nose bonks me happily when i go to feed/pet her, and I took her out of the cage for a little bit yesterday and she really loved it!
She loves her little woven grass cave-thing, and she goes crazy for hay! Which is weird, because she always has it, but she loves it more than the other rabbits. She's also hopping in her litter box, so hopefully she'll be trained soon. She and the dog get along okay, though he's only licked her through the cage. She'll give him little nose bonk too!

 

[JBun]

That's so great that Taz is feeling happier. I love nose bonks

 

[Hyatt101]

I do too, and she gives 'em to the dog too, and he gives her kisses
