The one 8,396 Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 It's just always being about farms you can pick up a bale of hay or straw and I used to do it ,but it's no treated like the dear pet shop stuff , so I prefer bedding them down in shavings and come the winter put even more in the sleeping area , and it's no to bulky to dispose of either . They must be too warm just now with it there sleeping in the run 1 Quote Link to post
hideandshoot 13 Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 I've always used straw as bedding, and never had a problem. Straw is fairly inert and shouldn't harbour any pests. Use barley straw as it's softer and more comfortable than wheat straw. Don't buy it from a pet shop, get it from an agricultural store or an animal feed place. A full bale is less than a fiver. Hay is too dusty and does harbour mites. Shredded paper is also quite dusty and it makes your cage look like a rubbish tip. Use course sawdust for the toilet end of the cage as it's quite absorbent. Sorry for harping on about bedding etc, I guess I've got a hygene fetish! 1 Quote Link to post
