    I'm getting rats again, 3 boys ❤ Just had a quick question about bedding... I used to use Aubiose for my past boys, but found it quite dusty. I have a huge bag of Chipsi Classic which I use for my hamsters, but I was wondering if it's safe for rats as well? Thanks x

    I have a huge problem with the urine smell in my rats cage. A major part of this is because of the many corners/bars that I just straight up can’t clean due to their awkward position. I made the cage myself out of a shelving unit, so there are some overlapping bars. I am working on a way to...

    I know it's somewhat subjective based on litter training and on fast the bedding gets dirty but I'm just wondering about how often other people change paper bedding out?

    I’m due to rehome a mischief of young rats from a supposed reputable breeder/rescuer. However, she informed me that she uses sawdust (as well as teabag bedding) for their substrate which I’m now worrying about. Obviously I will be changing them to a mixture of fleece and paper pellets when I get...

    I've been experimenting with different cage setups and combinations of beddings. The current one has a thin tray (no bedding) on the floor to cover the wire on the first floor and fleece on some of the second, though some wire is exposed. They like to stuff newspaper in their hideouts and also...

    I have 3 50L bags of paper bedding for the ratties stocked. However, they're all different brands because different ones were on sell when I was at the store. Their previous was CareFresh, now they have Full Cheeks, and there's also a bag of Kaytee. It didn't occur to me beforehand that it might...

    I've seen a lot of people talking about vet beds? From what I've learned so far is its like fleece and absorbent fabric then fleece so its kinda like washable bedding? I can't find much about it or what I could do for that as I think it would help me out quite a lot with my boy. Does anyone have...

    I’m hoping to switch to hemp bedding after I switch to a custom base on my cage. I was wondering if anyone has any brands of hemp bedding they would recommend that is easily available in the states.

    Hi, I'm thinking of using fleece as bedding on the main tray instead of loose bedding as they put it out. they do push much out, and it doesn't smell more than it should work for two rats. But as they HATE the hover, I want to minimise how often I have to use it near them. As I have loose...

    Hello I have two male rats (ivory & ebony) right now I’m using the type of paper bedding you would get from a pet store it’s messy and very dusty so I’m looking for a better cheaper alternative that would be easy to clean every day I was looking towards newspaper because felt is out of the...

    Hi, So on thursday (16th June) we bought a Savic Suite Royale rat cage second hand. The seller gave us a bunch of accessories too for 20 pounds extra (which was great!) + a big bag of cardboard bedding for free. She said it was dust extracted and that she'd used it for her own rats (I believe...

    I noticed that when I use fleece with the furniture pads underneath the fleece gets smelly quickly while the pad underneath doesn't smell bad at all yet. Does anyone else just use the uhaul furniture pads by themselves? Thanks!

    Hello, Previously I used the Living World blue litter crushed paper for the litter box, all the rats are litter-trained on this litter. It was my favourite until I realized it has baking soda in it…. I am now looking for a very good replacement. Things that doesn’t work: rolled paper pellets...

    Hi all! I recently acquired a gorgeous three level cage from my neighbour that had been used as a sleeping area for her bunnies. Although I'm not new to rat raising, it is my first time owning a cage without a deep bottom for bedding (it's just a flat tray). I tried covering the tray in fleece...

    Hi all, I recently upgraded my boys to a double critter nation and was excited to put in fleece liners and ditch the loose substrate. They seem to really love them and the cage looks great, but I had a problem when I went to wash them. Even though I had cleaned off the fleece as well as I could...
