Is carefresh natural paper bedding ok for my rats? I am going to change my bedding from my aspen so I wanted to know your thoughts! (I have already tried hemp they didn't like it and I was allergic)
Paper bedding is typically very dusty and doesn’t absorb moisture or eliminate odor. I generally say that paper bedding should be a last resort, but if you have to use it, oxbow pure comfort is probably the best option. Trying different brands of bedding to find the perfect fit is sometimes needed, or mixing beddings. A lot of people will mix paper and aspen, to minimize the dust and still get the benefits of the wood shavings.
In my experience, it’s all trial and error. What works for one group of rats might not work for another. I use something called SaniChips, because nothing else really keeps them from getting sick.
