A good cage bedding is important for your rats health and comfort.

It’s recommended to use a bedding that is dust free, soft and controls odors.

Some examples are:

Paper bedding

Paper bedding is soft, absorbent, low-dust, and good in controlling odors. It can get a bit pricey

Fleece Liners (Reusable Option)

Use with a layer underneath to absorb urine. It’s cost-effective over time, soft, and washable. It can smell if not regularly washed.

Hay

Soft, dust free hay can be used combined with other bedding. Rats love burrowing in soft hay. It can trigger allergies in humans and rats alike.
