I'm having to use shavings for Apollo, he is my first male hamster after 3 females and he absolutely stinks sometimes! So I have to clean his bed out completely every other day to keep it nice for him. I use Fitch but with the rabbits monthly vet and hay bills I can't afford to buy a new bale of Fitch every month to change the ZZ2 sometimes monthly (that's how much he can honk!) because he's the smelliest hamster I've had and I have no idea why
I don't use any shavings with the rabbits as they have lino and with Poppy (my first bunneh) still suffering after I used them with her I was reluctant to use them again for a smaller animal, but he was fine with them before when I used them during an emergency
so not too worried.
I've ordered the snowflake shavings as I can get them easily and it will be cheaper for me to clean him out! I would go back to megazorb but after their reply regarding the recent smells etc I'm avoiding completely. I'll see how he is, I might try auboise if the horse supply shop I get hay bales from sells it
