Don’t know about wood chips but along with hay and straw that is readily available to my rabbits, I keep the dog hair when I brush my big dogs and I add big clumps of dog hair when the rabbits start to make a nest

I currently have 2 dozen rabbits free ranging in a 5000 square feet enclosure. These are Flemish Giants to feed my dogs. They have 24/7 access to grass and young brush shoots and I feed them pellets twice a day as well as whatever is available from our garden. Pellets have supplements that...
