Question:

is aspen a good bedding?

is aspen softwood a good bedding for my bunny

Answer:

my vet actually told me aspen is the best cedar is the worst and pine is ok
Aspen is one of the best beddings for rabbits. Kiln dried pine is ok but it needs to be kiln dried. Never use cedar.
Yes, aspen is a good choice. Avoid pine and cedar (cedar is worse then pine, but both are poor choices)- they contain aromatic hydrocarbons- which are airborne phenolic compounds that can cause upper respiratory irritation and, over the long term, liver damage. Another safe choice are the recycled newspaper-based litters and beddings like CareFresh (which is good for full-cage bedding), or Yesterday's News or Cell-Sorb (which are great for use in litter boxes).
I personally like pine better, Aspen has a strong smell and dust :(
