I couldn't even consider not putting nesting material in the box. I've already lost newborns to the cold this fall. I have one doe that pulls enough fur to birth a horse in comfort but most others are pretty lazy and it would be a recipe for disaster.kevin said:we had better luck with no bedding at all! Rabbits can tolerate cold better than heat. put a pan under the cage and your rabbits stay a lot cleaner, so does your cage! when your rabbit has babies, she will provide her own bedding with her fur in the nest box.
Pine is OK, cedar is a big no-no.GreenGoddess said:Everywhere I've read says NOT to use pine shavings.. But i notice many of you say it's ok.. What's up with that? Why would the "expert" sites say not to use it?
