| Post subject: Best bedding for degus? |
 |
|
I took in 4 degus yesterday and im just wandering whats the best bedding to put down for them. Iv looked at endless websites and they are saying different things.
at the moment they have just got paper down which is what they had in there cage when i got them but it needs changing 2 or 3 times a day and doesnt smell to fresh as im sure you can imagine.
any suggestions?  |

Use wood shavings (avoid cedar & pine) with a little hay, shredded paper or shredded toilet tissue/kitchen roll for bedding. They love hay, some will eat a bit but thats fine. ____________ Xx Lucy xX
