I use soft shavings rather than a fine sawdust , it soaks up the piddle

i meant shavings more so , couldnt think of the right word haha , the shavings i do use still end up being dusty obviously you cant get rid of all the dust can this cause any problems to the respirtory system of ferrets?

I think you will get a little bit off dust even in the pet shop dust extracted ones, been using it here for 14 yrs no problems

I would stick to white softwood shavings or sawdust mate..or mix them both..the redwood and hardwood sawdust and shavings does have too much very fine dust among it..and I have heard of respiratory problems being caused (suspected cause) by it..I would rather not take the chance..

White shavings all over the hutches no dust in them to bother the ferrets and theres a nice pine smell

Ave just pimped my ferrets court. was a big enclosure/cage with sooil bottom but made for a pain in the ass to clean, so i swapped. dug down 3 foot, filled it in with pea gravel. now i just hose it all down twice a day. doesn't smell, easy to clean, no irritation. but if they're in a hutch type set up obviosly this is no good.

i heard somewhere that you shouldnt use garden bark some thing to do with spores from when it starts to decay ,i may be wrong i thought it would look nice but i buy bales of horse shavings
