    sorry ...I do use Aspen on my nursing moms and babies. A couple days before they deliver I change them from Equine Fresh to Aspen.


    And yes the males do kinda have a musky smell. I have also always heard that mice are worse. I dunno if that is true or not though.

    Well it's 3 for 3. That's good to know. Now you guys got me thinking. I may breed my own rats one of these days.

    I lightly cover the bottom of the tub with woody pellet then put a layer of aspen over top. It works really well. The only down side to woody pellet is the amount of dust. You will notice it on everything in the room. That is why I started using the layer of aspen with less pellets. I also built an air purifier. It really helped out a lot. I highly recommend them.
