Is this okay?

[Malo]

I am moving Whisper into her new cage today. Iwill take pics later, but it has a plastic cage. I am not a fan ofusing bedding on the floor of her cage, its just a waste and too messy.I usually have a towel, but it is just too small to fit in her new cageunlike her old one. The bottom is plastic. Is this alright if I keep itbare? I may try to find some untreated straw mats later on

I don't keep anything on the cage floors...justlitterboxes....they seem to like to stretch out and cool their tummieson teh bottom...**shrug**

Okay thanks. I took it out and she seems muchhappier. I put it back in just folded though incase she wantedsomething to lay on.

Devon and Amber's cage just has a litterbox. The rest is linoleum.

We just have litter boxes here too.I'm noticing that the new Flemish girls are slipping some on the floor,I'm hoping to find them some mats this week. I think it keepsthe cages cooler and with the heat here, I'll do anything that mightkeep them even a tiny bit cooler.

My bunnies are in puppy cages onlinoleum. The only problem they have is running around andsometimes cleaning themselves because the floor is really slippery.

Here is Pebbles cage. You can see the ceramic tilesthat we use. The tiles are not as slippery as the barefloor. We leave the cage top off when we are home.

How old is Whisper? Do you give her unlimited pellets?

Whisper is 3 months and a week old. She alwayshas pellets but it is not filled to the top, she gets a cup of pelletswhenever her food starts getting low

 

[Pet_Bunny]

3 months old is fine for the pellets yougive her. Does she get alfalfa?She is going to grow alot bigger.

Rainbows!

 

[Malo]

Yup, I figured she will get a lot bigger. She is starting to feel heavier then when I first got her.

I feed her alfalfa cubes that I pull apart for her
