Naww when the Biffy used to be good...

I voted Carefresh. I wanted to try Audibose or however it's spelt, but haven't been able to afford it yet. Carefresh is fab for my LH chappy, dead easy to get out his hair, and he never has dreadlocks anymore, unlike when I got him and he had been on shavings! Plus Confetti CF is fun

I voted for average supermarket shavings (cos thats all i have ever used and never had a problem, even with my LH male

) and Aubiose because i use it for my horse and I really like it, last ages, doesnt smell and isnt too dusty. So i imagine it would last even longer for a hamster, they dont need 8 bags of the stuff to fill their cage!

Where do you get your aubiose from?

laurajane · 08-31-2011, 04:25 AM

Well since ive been back home (the isle of man) i havent bought any but while I was at Uni i got it from a farm shop nearby (in Nottinghamshire) and it was about £8 a bag

Is it in a vacuum formed plastic? a bit like a larger version of what wood shavings come packed in? I was thinking of trying some and thinking of storage ideas. A sack of megazorb just stands in the hall.

I use wood shavings - the breeder used them with Luna, she seems perfectly happy with them and there hasnt been any problems. Luna can easily nest and tunnel in it - all of which hold too.

I have seen this stuff (keep meaning to make a thread about it to ask) that people have been using - looks like wood shavings but isnt (I dont think), its from a supermarket (Morrisons maybe, or Asda) and its really soft... Anyone know what one it is??

I chose "Other" in the poll btw - I think it would depend on the hamster.

I did'nt realise how many people use megazorb lol

I voted megazorb as I do think it's the best, but I don't use it anymore.

It was way to expensive for the amount I used, and back then I had smaller cages. With my cages now I use up a bag of wood shavings and a bag of Aubiose in one clean out (the bags are megazorb size) so it would be even more expensive now if I used megazorb!
