Apple and silver birch branches are fine for rodents.

I'm not sure about which beddings are best for mice in terms of smell as I haven't kept them. For my hamster and gerbils, I use Fitch which is similar to Carefresh but cheaper.
Brilliant thank you. If I were to give them access to 1cm bar spacing (not for the external cage walls of course) would it be dangerous if they tried to squeeze through?

I'll look out for Fitch
