I know that it is a severe respiratory irritant in humans, its dust is very fine and gets trapped in moist areas like lungs very easily so I think it would not be a good choice at all for horses.
We use it in our barn. it is sufficient.
Yes, one of the best ever it soaks up liquids.
Most pet shops have good quality pet bedding. I would not recommend using fresh wood shavings or sawdust as they can be dusty and dangerous for your hamster. You can get it from blowoutbedding.com ,here a collection of bedding available where you can choose your choice bedding.
It is not good for the horse to eat straw. Instead of using straw for the bedding I would switch to sawdust so you will not have to worry about your horse eating the straw.
No, some snakes will accidently eat some of the dust when swallowing the mice or what ever the food is and over time it can cause a blockage and some serious problems. The best is to get the carpet
hay ,wood plets ,newspaper
Hamsters have pouches to keep food in them. Also if they want to move there bedding around the cage, they will put saw dust or bedding in there mouths and will arrange the cage how they like, this is a good thing because you will no when they are settled because they will stop moving all there bedding/ sawdust around. :-)
I have found, the best bedding to use is sawdust. I have tried a few different types of bedding but none of them has been as good as sawdust. However, don't get the cheap dusty stuff, make sure that you go to a pet shop and get the specialised stuff, which is free of toxins, nails and is low on dust.
Sure! It would be great, and it would be close to there habitat in the wild.
Hay is hollow and makes good bedding for horses. But i need to know what are good characteristics of good straw for stable management.Please help x
Wood shavings make great bedding if it's from the right kind of tree. Cedar or redwood are not used for horse stalls. Pine and fir make the best bedding. Some people prefer straw and rice hulls are also good choices.
You don't have to. Often horses can do without it. Although it would be more comfortable for their feet if there is some. Hay is a good idea for long travels, something to keep the horse busy on the way.
