What kind of bedding do you use for your breeder groups?

I've been using the sani-chips and like them, but am always on the lookout for something better and/or cheaper.

What do you use?

I do not breed ASF, but do breed rats. I just switched from pine to ABM (wood pellets). I am very glad that I switched. The bags cost me around $5.50 each, and come in 40lb bags. You only have to use a small amount, which expands during use.

Equine fresh ($6.25 for 40 lbs and it goes a long way even more so with ASF)

I love the equine fresh and was able to get hold of 2 bags a few weeks ago but since then they've not had any in. I'm hoping for something that I can get all the time, even if I have to order it online and have it shipped. Shame, I like the smell of the EF and it's only $5 a bag here when they have it.

I use equine fresh and some aspen. For breathing and nesting.... babies should be on something like aspen....

I use pure Aspen shavings. Works well.

[PigsnPythons]

I use wood pellets. Its $8 for 40 lbs.

I love the Equine Fresh. I gave my momma rats a paper towel or two and they made the nest from that, so no need for aspen.

we use Starbrite. its wood pelleted bedding, like equine fresh. it runs us 5.00 for 40lbs, I liked it better than the equine fresh. Plus its the main brand they carry at the supply company we go to..

Shredded kiln dried pine. It is $7 for a HUGE bag at local feed store.... I believe it is 5 cubic feet?

I have tried everything under the sun. The answer to this really will vary by personal preference. I used the equine fresh and various other pine pellets and didn't like any of them. WAY too much dust... and couldn't stand the smell of it.
