Also he seems to prefer his bedding to his litter, so I wonder if I can buy that same bedding and use that as litter instead

I will take some pictures with my camera tomorrow since the website won't take the photos from my phone.

This is Mushu's cage sorry it's a mess I completely cleaned and re bedded it last night and he went crazy and knocked everything over and burrowed.

I appreciate the suggestions I'm trying to learn, and using bedding and stuff is all what I got from doing research online. So the more I can learn the better off I'll be

It depends on what’s available in your area and what your rabbit’s habits are. Keep in mind the following as you choose your litter:
most rabbits spend lots of time in their litter boxes
rabbits will always nibble some of the litter
rabbit urine has a very strong odor.
House Rabbit Society recommends organic litters, made from alfalfa, oat, citrus or paper. (Some brands to look for: Care Fresh (Natural only), Cat Country, Critter Country, Yesterday’s News, and Papurr) For a complete listing of litter types, see the litter boxes and liver disease article.
Stay away from litters made from softwoods, like pine or cedar shavings or chips, as these products are thought to cause liver damage in rabbits who use them. CatWorks litter has been linked to zinc poisoning. Swheat Scoop Litter should be avoided, because rabbits will often ingest it. Because it is comprised of wheat, it is very high in carbohydrates and can cause obesity, excessive cecal production, diarrhea, bacterial imbalance, and other health issues.
Another approach is to place a handful of hay in each box, or to simply use hay as litter. It is helpful to put several layers of newspaper under the hay, to absorb urine so that your rabbit is not standing in the urine. Most newspapers today are using soy-based ink, which is safe for your rabbit, but check with your local newspaper to make sure first. Obviously, you need to change the hay fairly frequently (daily), since your rabbit will be eating it. This method often helps to encourage good litter habits as well as to encourage hay consumption, since rabbits often eat at or near the same time as they use the litter box.

A hard and fast rule with ferrets is the litter box must be locked down completely so they can't flip it or move it.  If they can, they will, it's a guarantee.  I've bolted my litter boxes to the sides of the cage and they try and push it once in a while, but give up quickly when it won't budge.  I learned that with my first ferret who would shove the litter box to the side and go potty behind it.
