    Bedding

    What bedding does everyone use? I got a bag of noble bedding today. It has bigger pieces then I've gotten before.

    I use kiln dried pine with some pine pellets to help keep odor down and absorb the urine

    I like it so far. There is no dust. No dust = no sneezing rats.

    This is what I do. I also like the bigger flakes of pine over the finer pieces. I find the larger flakes absorb better and need cleaning less often then the finer pine.

    We've tried everything from oak shavings to aspen and are back to pine, The pine seems to hold off the oder till the end of the week when cleaning day is..also pine can help ward off mites in larger collections.

    I use GEM white shavings I believe it is made with Douglas fir and Hemlock and love it for smell and soaking up urine. No dust either
