I use Megazorb in most of my cages and have done for a couple of years and it seems to suit my hamsters well and it seems to be able to go longer between clean outs than some other substrates. Some people have said that it has a funny smell but from talking to others who have used it, it seems to depend on how it has been stored at the supplier.

I use shavings for my diabetic Chinese as she needs frequent clean outs and anything else is just not cost effective for her and I use Kaytee Clean and Cozy in hospital and maternity cages as it's soft and is relatively dust free. I used to use Fitch but found that whilst the price was increasing, the quality wasn't always as consistent as it used to be but I know others find that it suits them an their hamsters well so it does depend on what is best for you and your hamster.
