Bedding

hi, is there any suggestions on what is the best type of litter to keep rats on.

as amonia created by the rats urine causes major respiratory problems and therefore a bedding is needed that a) absorbs the amonia and stops the smell and b) is dust free.

any suggestions???

i use yesterday's news cat litter. if you buy from a feed store you can get a big 30 lbs bag that will last me (having 6 rats in a 2 tier chinchillla cage) a little over a month for $15 canadian. which is about half of what i would pay anywhere else. especially pet stores-- the inflation on their stuff is nuts! in any case, i find yesterday's news is the best to use. the aspen i find doesn't absorb the odour as well and the carefresh i find doesn't last as long (more expensive for less).
cat litter is the best i started using it 2 months ago and ive still got half a bag its amazing stuff tottaly stops the smells and is cheap!! woop go cat litter!! hehe
no i dont use dusty cat litter i use the pellets they are great
