So I have my doe I'm bringing home to kindle, and I don't have anything large enough bedsides a Rubbermaid container to put her in at home. obviously there's no wire floor in the container, so I was going to put down those pine pellets that are super absorbent and call it good, but now that I see it, I seriously doubt she won't try to eat a few, and those suckers expand. I could cover it with a layer of hay and that might help, but I don't know for sure. She's only going to be in there for a week until she and the babies are safe, then it's back to the barn and wire cage with all.
Anybody have any better bedding ideas? I have paper shavings too, but I can't see them being absorbent enough to keep the mess down. I'm not even that worried about stuff getting in her coat(angora), but I need something that won't be a danger for her to eat and will keep the container relatively clean for a week. (I'll be cleaning it too, but just pointing out long term practicality isn't a big issue.)
I've kept rabbits on wire the whole time I've had them, so any suggestions help!! Thanks!
