well we just got kitty our little minirex. she will be staying indoors we have a wirecage with the plastic pull out tray underneath but also want to try andliter box train her. right now i have hay in thebox which she will sit in and poo but i would liketo try and find a liter i can use. the breeder told me to useoil dry! is this safe? ive never heardthat he said hes been in the bunnybusiness for almost 40 years and has never had any problems using thisfor his bunnies. he had over 200 :shock: so hasanyone else tried this? im really scared to use it only tohave her eat it and have it block her up! ive seen posts forsome other products that others use but they arent sold here.i think we may possibly have yesterdays news but im not positive onthat. she is only 7 weeks old so i would like totry something and stick with what ever i pick out. as ivealso read that with some of your buns that switching the brands hascaused them to stop using the box. thanks for any suggestions!

I use Woody Pet for litter.
It's a wood-based pellet.
A similar, but more costly, product is Feline Pine.

Kim itsalso called speedy dri it isused for sopping up oil spills and greaseslicks caused by carsbeing repaired , the only problem ihave found withit and i use it on acement floor for the missed directedspraying ((( grrrrrrrrr Buster ) andit tends to clump up and make a hardcement type rock . If i was to say it wasan SOB to get up off the cementeven after a few mnutes that would be putting it mildly , Ifyou cant get woody pets or felinepine and as long as she wont besitting on it constantly iwould use a thin layer of pineor alder shavings , theywork as well as anyproduct when taken care of properly , atleast until you can find abetter quality litter for her.
