Things I wish I had known when I started out breeding rats...

Yeah im using a product almost like sawdust

Works great

Though i do like the pellets too

Be aware of nursing moms wanting to bite

Dont use pellets on babies, and keep bedding to a minimum. Ive lost a few babies after having them burrow and suffocating.

To add to this, Sawdust type bedding like pellets once they break down, Are small enough for the babies to breath in and plug up the air ways and die that way. Why i dont use pellets with my rats.
