stinky rabbit litter

Question
I have a pet bunny that stays in the house in his cage.  We love him very much, and want to continue to keep him in the house with us, but the smell of his litter is horrible.  I'm using "Yesterday's News" for litter now.  Any suggestions to cut down on the odor?  Thanks!

Answer
Are you changing the litter every day or at least every other day?  That will help quite a bit.  Or, line the bottom of the box with newspaper, put the YN on that, and they a layer of hay on top of that.

Or you could go to another kind of litter, such as Feline Pine.

The important thing is to clean the box regularly, after 3 or 4 days they start to get stinky no matter what litter you use.
