Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I can usually find this a lot cheaper than I can aspen. Does anyone else use it for their rodent feeders? If not, then why not? I'd continue to use aspen for my snakes but the rodent go through a lot more than the reptiles and I'd like to find a cheaper alternative.

Thanks for any help/advice you can offer.

I have been using pine shaving bedding for a while now and have found no ill effect to the rodents or reptiles I feed. I like you was looking for a cheaper alternative so I searched the archives for this forum and found simiular post that suggested that pine was O.K. , so what the heck, I gave it a shot and hey all has been great!!!!!! .....Good luck

Hey have you considered Gentle touch?
best bedding i have ever come across, i use it for my snakes and my rodents.
Its amonia nuetralizing, expands like 3x its size and its a great compost.
