HEY! Did ya know… you can just make rat bedding
Those big paper sheets that come crumpled up in Amazon packages? Keep them. They make excellent big-box litter/bedding material — crinkly, dust-free, easy to replace, safer and considerably cheaper than buying bags of traditional bedding.
Basically: recycle the paper, cut it up into crinkly strips to give the rats something fun to dig through, and stop buying stuff. 🐀
Just make sure it’s plain, clean paper without inks, coatings, fragrances, exposures or other questionable extras.
