Best bedding to use? possible allergy

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??

Aubiose is another good substrate, but I don't know that they sell it in any less than a 20 kilo bale which may be no good if you only have a few mice.

I like Aubiose. It does come in huge sizes, but it smells nice and keeps well :D
I have always used Aubiose.
Occassionally I fancy trying something new out, and I do, but I always come to the conclusion that Aubiose is better and go back to it.

What about cotton wool ?
Bad idea....
The tiny fibres of cotton wool can cause nasty damage to a mouses foot if they manage to wrap around.
When you get your horse substrate, you could still give them a nice mound of shredded paper to make a nice nest in :p
