I've read alot of books about rats. Any bedding that is dusty can or most likely will give your rat respitory problems. (Lung, Breathing...) Never use pine or cedar bedding because it's dusty. You can use a brand of bedding called Yesterday's News, Crushed Chest Nuts, Aspen Shavings and rabit food pellets. All of these are great for your pet rat. Also never give your rat newspaper because the ink is toxic. Bye!!!!!
Never give your rat saw dust. It will cause respitaroy problems.
I give my rats old clothes that don't fit me anymore and rip them up. I change it once a week by laundry, and the best part is is that you don't have to separate it by light or dark.
