Hi, I just got a dwarf bunny and was wondering if this bedding will be safe for him- I know that pine isn't.

I have a mini rex who has had this for bedding for years. He is an old, old rabbit now, living well past the norm, so it seems that this bedding hasn't hurt him at all. Keeps cage fresher much longer than the paper bedding. Enjoy your little dwarf!!!

I have gerbils and aspen is safe for them when pine and cedar is not. Check on line and YouTube. Enjoy your bunny.

Yes this is fine for bunnies of all ages and sizes. Very clean and low dust with no strong smell.

Its not. I have one rabbit in it. I wish I would have built my own cage for the price. There were several split boards and the painting was pretty shoddy. Not recommended. Good luck with your bunnies!

I have two rabbits, a lop/dwarf mix and a Havana (they're in the 5-9lb range, size-wise) and we have always used these recycled paper pellet litters. They have little to no dust, which is the concern with clay litters; and they don't have the fumes that make bunnies sick like you do with many wood based litters. This is an excellent choice for your bunnies :) House Rabbit Society (the leading expert resource) even specifically suggests Yesterday's News (a comparable brand) as an option for paper based litters.

It should it didn't fit my rabbit, he is really big so I think where your bunny is a dwarf it should fit perfectly for him or her. Good luck I hope my answer was helpful for you...:)

Hi, Linda - this is a very thick - really - 3" - heavy larger than you might imagine topper. I bought a 1/2" thick organic mattress pad from Amazon. You might also get an organic mattress cover. The company recommends turning it, if I recall, once a month, and to air it in the sun. I did find, after a bit of sleeping on it, that the back problem I have did not go away. It is so unbelievably luxurious to snuggle into, one feels really spoiled. Am deciding what to do with mine. To answer your question - I would not. The wool is loose, sewn in with a few strategically placed stitches in about 9 places, I am guessing. To wash it would wreck it.

Just to chime in on your comment about owning Great Danes!I have three Great Danes. My girl lives and sleeps on the CoolAroo bed. The first month the frame began to "bend" and warp as she was waaaaay to heavy. So, I gave the bed to my daughter who has a French Bulldog and its perfect for her. I had my carpenter make a custom wood bedframe and got a mattress covered in Sunbrella fabric for the danes. Perfect!

Any question about "safety" seems like it should be directed towards the maker/seller. Since this is advertised is "all natural" I think that health safety would only be a concern if you have an allergy to any of the ingredients. Something to consider for indoor use, is the strong odor after initial application. You might also want to consider if any of the ingredients might stain your bedding.

I don't think so. It was a little loose on our bunny until he grew into it.

I think its a great bed. Its not a fluffy bed and it keeps its shape really well. Mine love it! Hope the little guy gets feeling better!

Sorry, don't know that breed of rabbit. The mesh holes are pretty big, so unless there is something unusual about that rabbit breed it should be fine.

I have a little dutch bunny & it does not stick to her. I switched to this about a month after we got her & have been using it for the past 6 months. The pine bedding turned her white feet yellowish-green & stuck to her ... plus the smell was horrible since she is a house bunny. With this there is definitely a lot less mess and smell. Plus it is cheaper on Amazon than at the pet stores. Hope this helps!

I buy the grass mats for a 'chew toy'. It would work if your rabbit doesn't destroy the mat too quickly, either by chewing or fouling (toilet). My hutch has a wide plastic grid for the floor, but a previous wire grid cage did wear off the foot fur. Not so much as to cause sore hocks, but it is an issue for pets who spend all their time on wire. You might try simply buying bulk hay for the rabbit to spread around to his comfort, but you will have to completely clear it and refresh every day or at least every other (like a horse's stall) to prevent smell, illness potential, or just plain eating dirty hay. contact your local House Rabbit Society for other suggestions.

I use natural bedding in this and in my Netherland Dwarfs cage. I wouldn't use cat littler cause they aren't so post to eat it and its not good for them. I use Healthy pet critter care Natural from wal-mart and the brand that I used from Gaint is called Hartz Nodor natural bedding. They are both great bedding's and my rabbit hasn't had any problems when she would eat some of either of the brands of bedding. I hope that this helps.

It would be perfect for bunnies unless they were like ours that would dig under anything. As a play yard for supervised temporary use it would be great. It is very sturdy and easy to use and store. I did spray it with an extra coating of rustoleum spray paint on the bottom of each piece that was touching the ground to prevent rust from forming. I have had mine set up for appx. 3 years and so far so good. It sets up in just a few minutes and you don't need help to so it. Also it looks nice when it is set up, it is not an eyesore to your property

I have used this kind of bedding, for years, in my Mini Rex bunny's cage and it has worked better than anything I have ever tried. Also, he has lived for 13+ years and that is much, much longer than expected. Obviously it hasn't hurt him a bit. As a matter of fact, it keeps his cage cleaner longer and completely controls urine odor. I cannot speak to it's use for guinea pigs or hedgehogs other than this so maybe checking with a vet wouldn't be a bad idea unless someone else has used it specifically for the animals you have.

The product is safe around animals, plants, bushes, and grass. You will need to ask the customer service department to be SURE you can use product on animal bedding. Hope that helps!

I would not think so, although it is a durable weave, my Rott has left it alone so far, I put a blanket on it for him. He usually destroys his beds, but doesn't seem to want to eat this one. I recommend it.
