"Because our rabbit kicked the bedding out of her cage, it seemed that I had to sweep up every 5 mins. just to keep things under control. I've been looking for alternatives to bedding for a while and I have to say - this mat is great! Because it's eddible, Miss Lucky can nibble on it and gets a good workout scratching at it. When she is done she'll take a rest on it and best of all - NO mess!! I bought the biggest one they had at the store and I wish it was bigger. I also had to put the litter box on top of it so she wouldn't keep raising it off the bottom of her cage."
