Because of the ferrets natural instinct for burrowing, soft bedding material is recommended that they can get underneath or cover themselves for sleeping. Bedding you can purchase for ferrets are sleep sacks and they particularly like hammocks
Bedding for ferrets - do not use wood chips, straw, etc. Ferrets like soft materials - you can use t-shirt type material, flannel type material - something that is easily laundered - it is suggested to launder bedding about twice a week to reduce ferret odors. Avoid bedding material with a loose weave - ferrets nails sometimes split when they get too long and tend to hang on loose threads (they need to be trimmed every 2- 3 weeks). I have read where ferrets nails have hung on threads with the owner unaware, and the ferret wrapped the thread around its leg cutting off circulation that resulted in amputation.
Ferrets love to sleep in anything soft and warm such as cat beds, old clothes, blankets, towels etc. Avoid typical small animal bedding such as wood chips.
You can use pretty much anything just go on Petco or Petsmart websites and find the best thing for your little guy! :)
Native Americans believe that when a turtle crosses your path (road) that rain is coming.
warter,rocks,mud or sand.and the turttle.
the fatter the gerbil, the thicker the bedding.
New bedding. You can wash the cage- without bedding in it: that would just be messy. I would change the bedding like every week or every other week.
yes, definitely
From what I read you need to put at least an inch of bedding in there cage and give them toilet paper and cardboard tubes to chew up to make a nest.
you can buy many kinds of bedding from pet store but if you want to make your own then you can just put some peices of tissue in there cage and they will chew it up.
They will make a nest out of the bedding you put in the cage.
for a few days don't put any bedding in their cage.
Well first you need to put your hamster in an excersise ball or somewhere, get a plastic carrier bag and get the bottom of the cage and tip the dirty bedding out(take out any toy or beds first!) take away the old bedding. put down news paper and put down fresh bedding. Put back any toys and beds, food bowls etc... put hamster back in the cage and there you go a clean cage in less then 10mins! hope this helped!!:)
That's normal, she's not eating the bedding, she's storing it in her pouches because she wants it somewhere else.
No, in fact it is a great thing to put in their cage because they like to tear it and spread it around. I put some in the cage for my mice, and they love it!
First move your mouse to a temporary home; i put mine in a run about ball. then disassemble the cage, throw out the old bedding and fill it with brand new bedding. then reassemble your cage and put your mouse back in. i suggest changing the bedding at least 1 a week; maybe more if your mouse has strong smelling urine. = )
The cage that I have is different but what I normally do is put some wood shavings in my hamsters' cage up until he can reach the wheel, since mine is a dwarf hamster and can't really reach it. If you mean the nice fluffy bedding, like critter care, just put as much as you want in it till you think it is enough. (S)he will tear it up and place it where (s)he wants. Hope this helps :)
