Question

Answer
Dear Amy,

As a followup to the previous answer, it will help to keep her clean and dry if you can line her hutch with Feline Pine, a pelleted sawdust litter that absorbs *tremendous* amounts of liquid and completely destroys the odor.  You can get this at most major pet supply outlets.  Any pelleted sawdust litter product will do, and there are several other brands.  We use Feline Pine, and it is the very best thing for keeping bunny dry and comfortable.

If she is suffering from urine burn, please see:

Good luck,
