    Bedding type?

    Hey I was wondering what everyone thinks is the best bedding for a rack? I am building my first rack today. I currently am using paper towels In my tubs. Is there anything better for a rack?

    many people use newspaper, paper towel, aspen, I'm using coco husk, but I will be testing out this Flax bedding I picked up here locally.

    I like aspen. My issue with papertowel or newspaper is when all of mine crap it seems to go everywhere. Drives me nuts. It's also harder to spot clean which I do on a daily basis, and it's only absorbent to a certain extent.
    So I'll stick with my aspen. It's easiest for me I guess.

    I prefer the aspen, but i'm finding that the humidity in the tubs in my rack really stays up there with aspen (like 70-75%) when compared to just using paper towels where it stays at 50-55%.
