best bedding for small animals!

This subject has been a topic of debate for a long time. So I'm going to give you my opinion. 

Good Bedding for Small Animals:
There are two types of beddings we always recommend first and foremost to all adopters. Those two are Kiln Dried Pine and Aspen wood shavings. Both of these beddings are safe and the best at controlling ammonia. These beddings give pet owners the longest time between changes. Both of these last an average of 7-8 days between changes (depending on the number of animals in the cage).

These beddings are also cheap and usually easy to find. If you decide to use pine, just make sure it is kiln dried. If you aren't sure contact the manufacturer and find out to be safe!

Our preferred bedding to use is the tractor supply fine pine shavings These bags are huge and only cost $5.99 each!
