Rat Substrate

What substrate do you use for your rats?
I need something new for my boys. I've had them on carefresh as I had a bag in the cupboard but that's all gone now. We use megazorb for the rabbit and guineas but it makes Bert sneeze.
OPen to all ideas. I would normally do a search on the forum but I'm on my phone and it's a pain in the butt so sorry if this has been asked before.

Re: Rat Substrate

I use either Ecobed or Finacard, depending on what's the best bargain whenever I reorder although I currently have 5 bags of shredded paper that the rats are enjoying burrowing in

Re: Rat Substrate

Sputniks are meant for squishing lol my girls can get 7 in one god knows how the bottom one breathes and they leave the other one empty silly ratties

I use ecobed I think but I'm not keen I'm going to try something else not sure what either megazorb or the one that starts with a aubisue or something
