I've been reading a lot about bedding and it seems that most beddings have risks of mites. I buy Carefresh Ultra and freeze it for 48 hours to kill any, but it also doesn't control the ammonia very well (though better than regular Carefresh). I won't buy pine or cedar, but might buy aspen. How does aspen compare to Carefresh? I've heard conflicting opinions - a lot of people on the RodentFancy club on facebook, for example, can't stand Carefresh and think the odor is awful with it - but my family has very sensitive noses and it's never been that awful for me. The only problem with wood shavings in general is that there is a risk bits can get stuck in your pets eye and one will have to take it to the vet, so I'm a little wary. Is there anything completely parasite free and soft that's NOT a wood shaving type bedding? I've seen Kaytee Soft Sorbant but it's very expensive and one bag might last two weeks. Also I think it can have mites too, and so can Timothy hay (I freeze it first - alfalfa makes a good treat). Any advice would be appreciated...
Mirabel's been doing a lot better on her antibiotics, the chattering has all but stopped. Supposedly she either has Microplasia or a possible form of Pneumonia. After giving the Enrofloxacin/Betrol compound mixture to her twice a day for a week, I've brought the dose down to the recommended once a day, though sometimes I skip it to give her system a break. She has been doing very well, all things considered, and started using her wheel again...I'll have to post pics sometime.
