deanflute 550 Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 I use a mixture of shreaded paper and sawdust for the run and just shreaded paper for their bedding, My Mum gets it by the binbag for me so its all free!! Quote Link to post
theferreter 311 Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 i use hay and sawdust in the winter months and depending on how warm it is in the summer months id either use sherreded paper and sawdust or about 2 inches of sawdust if it 2 warm plus your ferret will remove what it doesnt want in it bed Quote Link to post

joe14 98 Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 I use fleece's for bedding. Then in the corners, wood pellets/few layers of newspaper. Quote Link to post
mikeyblue 28 Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 Wood chippings and shredded newspaper for summer. Old bits of clothing in the nest for winter. Quote Link to post
bleachtastesnice 4 Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 I use fleece's for bedding. Then in the corners, wood pellets/few layers of newspaper. Am the same, think its easy to keep on top ov, change the bedding every few days and the corner before and after work. No dramas with the weather because i have chopped up the fleece's and they rag it about as they please. All the best, Bleachtastesnice Quote Link to post
