I started out using carefresh then i recently switched to aspen because it was cheaper. i am not happy with the aspen so i wanted to go back to carefresh but i heard about this bedding called cell sorb all the reviews say it is great...so my question is which do u think is better? what do u use?

i use carefresh and truly have tried just about everythingout there! i hav efound that it really is the best and that it is best for the health of the animal too. dont make sudden changesinthe beddding tho. it could stresss out ur animal and therefore make it ill. i would do a mixture of the two and each week use less and less aspen.
goodluck!

Given that your pet is a rodent, you will want to avoid cedar bedding that was suggested above. Cedar bedding is very dangerous to rodents' respiratory systems.
The aspen is a good choice as chip beddings go.
I don't have enough information on carefresh and cell absorb to help you there, but did want to put in 2 cents about cedar bedding with rodents.

Hi there!!
Some pet stores sell beds for animals that have cedar chips mixed in with the bedding material. The cedar chips absorb odor and moisture so the bed won't get that "funky animal smell". I have it for my cat, and she loves it! Also, if you want a quick freshness boost, you can try spraying a light mist of Febreze over the bed. Febreze is safe to use around animals, so there won't be any chance of an allergic reaction. Hope this helps!! :)

It depends upon the type of animal you have. But most Vets will tell you to use plain scent free pads to line the cages with. It is better on the animals respiratory system.

Gentle Touch is the best at absorbing odor. It comes in large pellets though, so I'm not sure how comfortable it would be to rat feet.

I own and operate a grooming business and I know from experience that cedar shavings offer the most benefit. Not only will it take care of any odor but it also repels fleas and insects.
