<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
There are several reasons not to use cat litter for guinea pigs or rabbits. First of all, small rodents have a completely different toilet than cats. While cats only go to their litter tray to do their business, but otherwise spend their time elsewhere, guinea pigs and rabbits usually go to a corner of their cage or enclosure to wee or poo.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
This means that the rodents are constantly in the immediate vicinity of the toilet. Cat litter often contains odour-killing agents that can be harmful to rodents if inhaled over a long period of time, i.e. if the animals constantly have their noses next to it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rabbits and guinea pigs also tend to nibble on everything in their housing. They can therefore quickly swallow the indigestible litter grains. Cat litter grains are also often indigestible if they are organic materials.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Many types of cat litter are designed to clump together with the liquid so that the toilet is easier to clean. This causes the clumps to stick to the paws or fur of small animals.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Hay should not be missing in any rabbit cage, but only because the animals eat the hay and sleep in it. In addition, hay is not absorbent enough for urine and the cage quickly starts to stink.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Paper is suitable as a base, preferably shredded. However, the animals also eat the paper, so you have to make sure that it is not printed or chlorine-bleached paper.<\/p>\n
The best and safest is still special small animal litter. It is made from wood shavings, which are safe for the animals, highly absorbent and have a pleasant odour.\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
