Why does my rabbit eat the bedding?

I've used shop bought stuff %26amp; shredded my own for her, she still eats it no matter what kind...why?Why does my rabbit eat the bedding?
Have you tried Carefresh bedding?





Also -- rabbits are prone to respiratory infections so if at all possible, try an all wire cage. Even solid bottom cages that are cleaned regularly are not nearly as sanitary. Just make sure you have a plastic mat for it to rest it's feet on. They should have well padded feet naturally, but it helps.Why does my rabbit eat the bedding?
if it is where they poo they will eat it as they do indulge in their own poo anyway


also i just think they will eat anything really
they just do
rabbits need roughage. They should be fed a small amount of rabbit food and a large amount of good quality hay. Use woodshavings as bedding,
Fibre may be missing from her diet or she may need to gnaw to keep her teeth short. Try adding vitamin drops to her water.
This could just be a simple sign of bordem. Put toys in her cage that will keep her busy. Also, try putting rabit chew toys in her cage.
They like to chew on stuff. You can buy her things to chew on. She is filing her teeth down too. All rabbits do this.
Maybe she's hungry!
It's normal I eat mine too
use hay for the bedding only cos this is a food for them aswell so if they eat it it will cause no harm
maybe you should feed it
She is bored and might be using the bedding to try and wear down her teeth. Bunnies do this. It's normal. Mine does it too.
if its straw or hay u have bought they will eat it as its part of there diet
eather she is hungry or is about to get malclution, malclution is when the teeth grow too long and grow right out of her mouth until she cant eat any more you must give her a wood block to chew on but if the teeth are really long you might have to get them cut off by the vet.unless the bedding is hay then they are propally haveing fun eating it.
And me, yum yum!
