If you want to use wood shavings, the only safe choice is Aspen. Never use cedar or pine because they contain toxins that can cause respiratory illness such as pneumonia. Carefresh bedding is ok, although somewhat dusty. Both Aspen and Carefresh can be found in the small animal section of most pet stores
