I use wood shavings in play areas like under and around wheels and the sandbaths in my foster cages but use Kaytee with a bit of Carefresh in burrowing and nesting areas.

Someone suggested to use Aubiose instead of wood shavings. I can get this in the equine shop for £10.25 a 20kg bale so its inexpensive.

My concern is that a product produced for poultry could harbour bugs and it would be too bulky for our small freezer.

Does anyone else use it?
