What bedding is best for a bunny?
Bedding choices that your bunny will enjoy include:

Is rabbit bedding and litter the same?
Other options that are safe for rabbits include aspen shavings, wood pellets, shredded paper, and soft paper-based bedding material. In addition to the type of litter, you also want to think about how much litter you use, how often you clean the litter box and the proximity of the box to a hay rack or hay pile.
What do you put in a bunny litter box?
We recommend using CareFresh (a rabbit-safe pet bedding that does not contain any pine or cedar products) and fresh hay to prepare your bunny’s litter box. Spread one inch of clean CareFresh covering the bottom of the pan, then add a big handful of hay. Remember to use rabbit-safe litters in your bunny’s box.
What bedding should rabbits avoid?
In short, avoid any bedding with a strong aroma of natural wood. It’s also essential to stay away from any bedding that is very dusty. As mentioned above, rabbits’ sensitive respiratory systems are easily damaged by sawdust or other particulates. Instead, look for bedding that is advertised as dust-free.
