Not suitable for nesting material.If you have fleece bedding for rodents like guinea pigs, you may need to sweep the fleece daily with a small broom and dustpan to get rid of any poop pellets. Individual mouse weights ranged from 36 to 57 g. Group weight averages ranged from 42.7 to 45.4 g, with no significant difference between groups, as determined by ANOVA ( P = 0.27). Kiln-dried pine has great absorbency, keeping smells down. It also has a good structure for digging and foraging. It is becoming widely available as horse bedding and comes in large, cost-effective bales. Old towels: This will be the middle layer to absorb liquid.

They are natural nest builders and will forage for useful material in their environment. Secondary rodent enclosure: this is to house your pet while you’re cleaning their cage out. It can be an aquarium or a smaller cage. These include coarse straw, poor quality wood products with large sharp pieces, and fabrics which – when chewed – create loose threads.
