Wood shavings
A small amount of cedar shavings won't harm the bunny, although cedar shavings aren't the best choice for litter. Pine or aspen are better for the rabbit.
YES! I know a horse that actually died when someone accidentally put cherry shavings in its stall. Never use cherry shavings. It can cause laminitis, colic, death, and many other health issues.
soak their hay,use a nose net,give the horse paper or vacuum packed wood shavings for bedding.
Yes the amount of exercise will affect a horses weight. If the horse is overweight it will slowly lose weight through exercise, just like humans. If the horse is a good weight and is being fed correctly then instead of weight lose you'll get muscle gain and the horse may go up in weight as muscle is heavier than fat.
This depends on what you mean by 'redwood'.1. If you mean Sequoia tree shavings, then no they likely are not toxic to horses and can be used since they are an evergreen. However you will want to make sure the horse does not have a reaction to any of the resins in them.2. If you mean shavings that are red colored and are most likely from cedar trees, then you should not use them as many horses have adverse reactions to them due to the oils and odor.
The cost of wood shavings will vary according to where you live, what brand you prefer, and how much you buy at one time. Only pine should be used for horse shavings, and these are typically the lowest in price. You can buy them by the 'bag' or 'bale' for anywhere from $2.00 (in bulk buy form) or up to $12.00 per bag/ bale at the feed store. You can buy them by the cubic yard from mills and this will likely be the most cost effective method, but you must have storage available to house the bulk shavings as they will not be bagged or baled up.
