I use Hay as food. I put it in their litter box though. I don't use bedding. I use cardboard on top of my coroplast.

That is natural. We have hay racks for eating hay and we use hay in their little boxes. I use hay as bedding for both my wild rabbits and squirrels in rehab (squirrels can make some complex nests with hay). And hay should be the primary food for a rabbit. We have rabbits that eat only hay. We feed very limited pellets as they contain far too much protein and other "junk". The only benefit from feeding high quality (and I mean high quality) pellets is to get components of the diet that most domestic rabbits don't get since they are fed a man made diet.....Vitamin D is a primary vitamin that most species (including humans) are deficient in.
