Re: rabbit bed?

I would be worried about them chewing the bed and maybe swallowing some of the stuffing - that could cause some serious problems such as impaction. Lots and lots of hay & straw should be adequate really. How about a wooden or plastic box (like a cat carrier) packed with hay for them to use as a burrow?

Re: rabbit bed?

Might sound daft but I cut a large hole in a cardboard box and filled with hay, they seemed to like that, and if they started to use it as a loo it's easy to replace

Yeah that is a prob, as soon as they rip their beds open I throw them out as I'm scared they'll swallow some fluff. The linen one I bought is really tough material so they haven't got through it...yet

The wooden box/pet carrier stuffed with hay is a good idea!

Re: rabbit bed?

My bebe rabbit feels the cold and shes an indoor bunny! I have a couple of ways:

1st is the way i use with my netherland dwarfs... i put the pet carrier in the cage and fill it with hay, straw and shredded paper

2nd way is i bought a couple of them paw blankets from the poundshop. Then cut up an old single duvet (cut it in half) and made a cover out of the paw blankets. Nice big rabbit bed Bebe doesnt huddle up she'd rather stretch out and other cat/rabbit beds are too small for her nice and warm and a happy rabbit x

Re: rabbit bed?

Re: rabbit bed?

Saffy and Joey had a fluffy bed they loved, but dreamer and tinks like to pee in them so now have 2 dog beds full of hay ( they use as a litter tray), 2 carriers full of hay and 4 other big litter trays full of hay, they do sleep in them
