I was just curious at what other people use for their mice as bedding?
I currently use fleece with newspaper underneath it and change every 2-3 days (only 2 mice in the big tank). What does everyone else use/reccomend. As i'd like to maybe try out some other bedding and see what my mice like best

I use megazorb, it comes in a sack and works out very cheap. If you can get it at a pet/farm/equine shop near you then it will be cheaper to buy but you can also get it online.
I use megazorb because it is nice and soft and my mice spend ages making tunnels in it so it's good for them as it keeps them busy.
Then I use shredded toilet paper for their bedding.

I use paper wool (not wool at all, it's called that because of the length of the strands and is actually made from recycled tea bag paper so it very absorbent.) I know of people who use aubiose and finacard as well for pet mice and they seem to love that too

Some cardboard square stuff that I can'remeber what it's called along with paper but I prefer carefresh for him as he likes it more

Thanks for the replies, I've seen megazorb before, will try find it and pick some up see if they like it. I think i've seen carefresh too so i'll give that a try. I've never heard of the one made from recycled teabags! sounds cool haha, my mice like to snuggle into the fleece especially the big bits that overlap in the corner

I use aubiose usually (our local feed suppliers orders a bale for me if I give them couple of days notice) but I got given a couple of bin liners of shredded paper so Ive been using that for the last couple of clean outs, the smell is virtually non exitant with the paper and theyre loving burrowing through it, so I think I'll be using that in future, and with the amount of junk mail/newspapers that we get it should be pretty much free.

Might try the shredded newspaper, sounds good to me, and easier to get plus as you said its free! Will give that as a first try, thanks again for your help everyone
