Bedding

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

kiln dried pine or aspen

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

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.

Pine

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 :)

We use PJ Murphy aspen chips. Very low dust and holds smell down nicely.

Is the cedar Kennel bedding from Walmart a good choice? The big red chips? It says Kiln dried on it.

No cedar is very bad for them

Pine and Cedar themselves are very dusty and also contain phenols and oils that can be toxic to rats. I have heard of people using the Kiln dried Pine bedding with success, but the other I would use would be Aspen.

Aspen only.
I'm allergic to everything else
