No problem Muddy.
Use the wood chips in the rest of the cage. Use kitty litter in the litter box. A lot of bunny experts say that kitty litter isn't safe for rabbits, but if you get a dust free one, it's fine. I've never had a problem using kitty litter with any of my rabbits. Not scented, not dusting, and it's A-Okay. I've found that the litter made for rabbits doesn't work as well. They're pellets and my rabbits eat them. :(
Also, with the wood chips, make sure that you don't get treated wood. Pine is okay, but I prefer cedar, or a mixture of both. As long as it's untreated, it's okay.
Any newspaper, old phone books, great for stress relief. In fact, the humane society asks that people donate their old phone books just for the bunnies. :)
Any more info you need, just ask. :)

I've seen those products in a lot of pet stores. Your best bet is to go to a supply store, a place that only sells pet supplies and not pets.
There are tons of warehouse type places, huge selection, low cost. Just Google to find one near you and you should have no problem finding the supplies. Even Walmart has some good bunny stuff. In fact, that's where I buy my bunny food, when they have it.
The best rabbit food I've found is "Kaytee" it has fruits, veggies, nuts and grains. The rabbits love it, it's not a lot of filler, healthy, well balanced, and not too expensive. Keep in mind that I have 4 to feed, and it costs me around $30/month.
Also, when it comes to food dishes, we have the ones that attach to the cage. I recommend the same thing for the litter box. If it's not bolted down, bunny will throw it around his cage. Lots of waste, lots of mess.
I could talk about bunnies all day. Aren't you sorry you asked? ;)

Bunnies usually pick one spot to go in, and unless that spot gets too full (which it shouldn't) they stick to it.
Just watch him. They like to use a corner (once the get used to their cage) so just watch, see which corner he uses, then put the litter box in that corner, put a few of his poos in the box, and he'll catch on. He's young, so he should figure it out very quickly.
If you clean the box every day, he'll use it. :)

I'm a bunny expert lol I own 1 and a cat.
Put bunny and cat togather and if the cat keeps pawing bunny he might be playing...
If he uses claws you need to get a spray bottle and spray him with water.
If the cat is not using claws he's just saying hi so try picking up kitty and bunny
In your lap and pet them both.

You may have a bunny, but you're far from being an expert.
Cats and rabbits are natural enemies. Putting them together is just asking for trouble. Spraying your cat with water is also not a good idea.
This is an old thread, so I will close it, but I wanted to post to make sure people didn't follow the advice you posted. There's more to being a rabbit expert then owning one.
