single duvet from tesco is about £6, rip all the dachron stuff out and use that light fluffy warm and cheap and one will probably last most of a year

fur lined Cosytoes for the winter. and plain cotton cosytoes for the summer- off ebay only a couple of pounds.

id be weary of using straw and saw dust as apparently can cause respiratory problems due to small seeds and dust particles, mine get wood shavings in the run area just to help soak up any urine and just old clothes/rags as bedding. tend to just roll themselves up in old towels or lie on top if warm and as Joe said doesn't take much to wash them out so last ages.

ripped up daily record and shavings in the run works for me as the hutch is always dry

shavings on floor,cpl tshirts in nest box in summer.throw hay and a jumper in there in the winter.hay on the court floor aswell.which they drag up the pipes to thier bed,so they kinda look after themselfs in that aspect lol

Shavings all through the cage and straw or hay in the sleeping box in winter and the summer for nesting jills. People have kept ferrets on shavings and straw for donkeys years and its never done any of them any harm, the amount of 'safe' rip off beddings there are now is due to all the bunny hugger brigade imo.

I use straw my the sleeping area with some of the

Babies old blankets. They roll about and snuggle in and just lie on top if they're warm. I've gt 2 pieces of newspaper with shavings in the half where they shit. Going to try and get hold of a couple of 15inch wide strips of Lino to put there instead of newspaper to stop the piss etc soaking in. Anybody know where I can get some Lino? Atb

hay is what i use,i put in a good handful and find they drag out some if there's too much and sawdust over the rest of the hutch.
