All I do is shred all the crap that drops through the letter box every morning, cheap, clean, and plenty of it.

just go to your local pet shop and get some hay mate.

Been told that hay can cause them to overheat and that using sawdust can cause respiritory problems and that i should be using a dust free bedding. I've tried pet shops and all they sell are hay straw and sawdust. I've found some wood based pellets and they are expensive so was looking to see if there was anything online. Thanks

I was told to use old tshirts blankets etc thats what i use, i was also told sawdust woodchippings etc not good for them either.

for their bedding you can use old fleece's, not towels as ferrets can get their nails caught in the thread.. That

way you can put them in the washer when they get tatty.

you can line the hutch with lino for easy cleaning, fasten a cat litter tray to the floor, fill with some

woodbased cat litter/shavings put some poo in there & hope they go in the tray like mine

 

cat litter is not that expensive, you can get 30l of it for a tenner, will last you abit if you havnt got many ferrets.

I just use shavings threw out the hutch you should be able to buy them online but it's easier to go to a horse livery yard and buy a bale

where did that info come from, did they also say not to put them down warrens in case they pick up ticks or fleas

in the summer, the box just gets woodchip put in, winter time, I add some hay or straw, whatever is around at the time, if they get hot, they will move, rather than bake

Use a good layer of shavings on the floor to soak up the crap & shredded paper in the bedding box , kept mine like this for donkeys yrs no problems what so ever
