What bedding can i use for rabbits?

i have 2 rabbits and i use shredded newspaper for their bedding but im worried that if they eat they might get poisend by the ink. What else can i use?
Answers:
HAY is excellent i tried it
they also use it for building nests and 100 % natural
Care Fresh lined with newspaper
Pretty much any bedding at the pet store but ceder and pine
If they are inside rabbits the normal thing to use is larger broken wood chips.
If they are outside rabbits usually use layered out straw. (stilt cage)
If they are in a cage that sits on the ground outside, wood chips, straw, or dirt* would work. (*messy)
these ones r really good..

My rabbit has hay and woodshavings - you can also use straw
they like to eat the straw/hay and its good for their teeth and for fibre too!!
hope this is helpful!
Pine is the best for them, but you can also use cedar. I don't see why anyone would tell you that those are bad for rabbits. That is what my vet recommended for my baby. AKA my rabbit.
use critter care oder control! cedar and pine kill rodents!
I suggest you don't use any kinds of ink, pens, crayons in the cage. Some care fresh or shavings. Wood is not healthy for bunnies or any rodents.
personally i use timothy hay. if yours live inside then i dont kno. mine live outside. timothy hay also doubles as food
