Hi
Ive been putting hay in with my mice and using shaving of different sorts, lemon scented/lavender from pets at home
Some of my mice seem to be wheezing and there eyes seem to be a bit stuck shut when they first wake up, one of my mice is about to go to the vets for some baytril

Is there anything I can use for bedding which is just plain and simple, wont cause them to be allergic or anything??

we use mega zorb for the litter - and straw for bedding, the mice tear all the straw up and make it into small shreds! :D we have used wood based cat litter before too. As far as the straw is concerned - we always make sure we treat it for mite infestations as a preventative measure.

ooo someone told us that shredded paper can give mice little paper cuts - so it may be something to look out for. Ive not used shredded paper myself - but its always good to pass on any knowledge! :D
yeah weve had no problems at all with megazorb, its great and competitively priced at our local farm and pet centre. :D

Katytwinkle - comes from my nickname everywhere else being twinkletronic! - but on here i wanted to use my Actual name too - hence the "katy" bit :D

we have a few varieties between myself and my partner and all of them seem to like megazorb - whereas i think some werent as fond of the cat litter - and even tho all our mice are in our shed - cat litter is noisier. :D
