    Soon you wont have any rats to breed or feed if you keep them on cedar ;)

    Might want to research bedding for rodents :P

    Thanks, I'll be changing that bedding in the morning. I don't know why I thought it was fine for rats(knew it wasen't ok for balls) They've only been on it for a couple days so no harm done.

    Should be ok, tis a common mistake, good thing you asked :)

    Same issues too, the oils cause upper respiratory.
    You may have some sneezers for a bit but they should be ok since it's only been a couple days.

    typically animals like Dogs or cats for long term..it acts as a flea repellent. Must other small mammals just don't tend to do as well, with the exception of like G. Pigs.

    G pigs do terrible on cedar. Cedar is not good for anything but making stores money.
