Cage litter/bedding
At the moment I use wood shavings or carefresh for my guys - always carefresh for M & P because they smell quicker, and shavings/carefresh for the girls depending on what I have or how rich I'm feeling!
I don't really like carefresh though - it's quite expensive and not too appealing to the eye, and some packs have been a bit dusty.
With the impending rats I'm going to try out a few other litters, as shavings are not suitable for them due to their increased sensitivity resp-wise. I've heard that Bob Martin's 100% Paper-based Cat Litter is just like Carefresh, but cheaper, so I'll be picking some of that up from the supermarket. I've also found a supplier of Megazorb within driving distance, where I can buy a big bale for just £5. Has anyone here used Megazorb for their hamsters - I think babyboos you were trialling it? How did you find it? It's not a big financial outlay to try it but it'll be a big bale to store, so if it's no good at all for hammies I'd rather know now!
