Bedding

About a year ago, my supervisor let me experiment with a different type of bedding for my mice. Normally, we use Sani-chips, a wood-based bedding, at our facility. I don't know the brand name of the stuff I experimented with, but it was like shredded cardboard. The results I got were interesting. The feces fell to the bottom of the cage, away from the mice, when using the shredded cardboard. It also absorbed the urine quite well. Overall, I liked this product better than the wood chips. Yet, the chips what we are currently using. My guess is that the chips are cheaper.
