Just wanted to share a new "mixture" of bedding I use with my rats. Rats don't seem to smell nearly as much as mice and I clean often (once per week) but I was looking for something that really eliminated any smell at all.
Anyways a little pricey, but I just started using 50/50 aspen/carefresh mix. The first time I used it I let my rats go far longer before a cleaning than normal just to see the smell level.....it was over two weeks before it smelled at all! I then cleaned it of course. lol.
So anyways if anyone has a small colony and is constantly looking for less smell, this works great. Really absorbant for sure.
