Default Re: LITTER: what do you use? sawdust, cat litter????

I think it is very much down to personal taste and what suits some people and hammies wont suit others. We currently use wood shavings for short haired hams with the Wilkos chipped paper bedding. Long hairs are on Aubiose which is like finely chipped hemp straw. It does not tangle in their fur. We have in the past tried Megazorb but could not stand the smell. Some batches smell bad a bit like sick! Carefresh is quite good but we are not fond of the grey colour. Cat litter feels rather hard and the glue smell to make the pellets is not to our liking. Aubiose and Megazorb are both horse beddings and can be hard to store as they come in large bales however they are economical if you have a lot of hammies. You could try experimenting and see what you hammies like.
