Can someone tell me if kiln dried wood shavings is okay to use for rabbits bedding?
I buy these wood shavings at my local fodder store.
http://www.rpmulching.com.au/woodshaving.html.
Iv'e heard that rabbits can get liver problems from wood shavings but I have to use them at the moment because hay here (South Australia) has mites in it due to humid conditions, and I don't like to give them hay that has been treated (with pyrethrum spray) because they will eat it and may become sick. What should I do? I've always used it for the mums in their nesting boxes before but that was a different brand which I can no longer get.
I don't like to use paper as it gives rabbits dermatitis and we can't but it here in Australian pet shops anyway.

They are fine. We have been using kiln dried pine for 40+ years. I couldn't see what you would buy since the link didn't work.

To avoid the worry of wood shavings all togeather you can buy paper shavings at your local pet store.

It should be fine, I would just be worried about not having hay maybe you can buy pre-made hay cubes?
