Read moreRabbit bedding – dry, soft and practical for any habitat
Good rabbit bedding does three things at once: it keeps the enclosure dry , makes cleaning easier , and provides your rabbit with comfort (soft paws, grip, and a nice place to rest). Whether you have an indoor enclosure or an outdoor hutch with a night shelter, the right bedding is the foundation of a hygienic routine. At DRD Rodent Shop®, you won't find "random bedding," but a carefully selected range that works in practice – with clear selection guides. Specialists in rodents and rabbits since 2011 .
Smart layout tip: Many rabbits can be litter-trained. Use absorbent litter for the litter box , and use a comfortable layer in the enclosure (or choose floor mats/pee mats if you're using loose bedding (or at least partially).
Soft, dust-free and comfortable to lie on (ideal for indoors).

Selection guide: what is “good” bedding for rabbits?
The best choice depends on your situation (indoor/outdoor), your cleaning routine, and whether your rabbit is long-haired. Basically, you want bedding that:
✔ Low in dust (good for daily air quality)
✔ Good absorption (drier stay, less ammonia smell)
✔ Comfort & grip (soft on paws, not slippery)
✔ Suitable for your rabbit (for long-haired rabbits , avoid loose fibres that can get into the fur)
Many customers choose a two-zone system : a comfortable layer in the living area and extra absorbent padding in the toilet bowl. This saves cleaning time and prevents unnecessary overuse.
Toilet bowl: which filling works best?
If you're using a rabbit litter box , choose granular or compressed litter: it absorbs urine quickly and is easy to scoop. These types are often the most practical for use in a litter box:
- Cotton Granules / Cotton Pellets – strong moisture absorption, economical in use
- Back 2 Nature – compact, neat and easy to portion
- Cotton N Card or Card N Card Mix – sturdy paper/cardboard mixes, practical for toilet training

Indoors vs. outdoors: here's how to handle it smartly
Indoor rabbits often have a fixed location (cage/run/rabbit room) and benefit from comfort and dust-free conditions. Outdoor rabbits, especially in their night shelter, need a dry, insulating base – especially during wet and cold periods.
Practical advice
Inside: comfort layer (cotton/paper) + toilet zone with pellets/compact filling.
Outside: absorbent base in the night shelter + straw as a top layer for extra insulation (straw is therefore mainly a top layer, not the "absorbent underlayer").
Need extra warmth/comfort in winter? Use additional hay as nesting material.
Recommendations from this category
Below are some frequently chosen options (useful if you want to quickly choose the right direction):
- Comfort (soft & low dust): Cotton N Cotton , Carefresh Natural , Carefresh Confetti , Paper Bedding Natural
- Toilet bowl (maximum absorbency): Cotton Granules / Cotton Pellets , Back 2 Nature , Card N Card (brown)
- Large cages / practical base layers: Cotton N Hemp , Cotton N Fibre , Hempflax Mini Hemp , Wood Fibre
- Straw (top layer / insulation): Soft Straw , Straw , Vitakraft Farmers litter
- Wood products (only if they suit your rabbit): Plospan Kingsize wood shavings , Puik beech wood chips
Maintenance & changing
How often you clean the cage depends on the type of bedding, the size of the enclosure, and the number of rabbits. In practice, many people do this:
✔ Litter box: scoop out urine/droppings daily, replace (partially) 1–2 times a week.
✔ Accommodation: remove wet spots in between, change (partially) periodically depending on your system.
Is there a lingering odor? Clean the toilet area and, if necessary, use a urine remover such as CSI Spray urine remover .
Safety
Introduce new bedding gradually (mixing or in phases over a few days). Regularly check soft materials for wear and tear and replace wet spots in a timely manner. For long-haired rabbits, it's often better to choose less "sticky" loose fibers or to use bedding mats/pee mats (partially). If you have any concerns about your rabbit's health, appetite, or behavior, consult a veterinarian.
FAQ – rabbit bedding
What is the difference between bedding and toilet filler?
Use bedding throughout the enclosure for comfort and a dry surface. Litter is primarily intended for the litter box and focuses on rapid absorption and odor control. See: Rabbit Litter .
Can I use straw as bedding?
Straw is especially suitable as a top layer (insulation/nesting), but it's usually not absorbent enough as a sole base. It's best to use it on top of an absorbent base layer.
What kind of bedding is useful when my rabbit is toilet-trained?
Use a toilet area (pellets/compact litter) and a comfort layer or mats throughout the enclosure. This is often the most economical and cleanest option.
How do I prevent slipping when working (almost) without loose ground cover?
Cover the bottom with a non-slip solution such as floor mats / pee mats , and use an absorbent filling in the toilet bowl.
