Do pet rats need bedding?

Yes, pet rats absolutely need bedding in their cage. It provides comfort, warmth, nesting material, and satisfies their natural burrowing instincts. Bedding also absorbs waste and helps control odors in their habitat.

What materials make good rat bedding?

The best rat bedding materials include paper-based products, aspen shavings, hemp, and compressed paper pellets. Avoid pine and cedar shavings as they contain harmful oils that can damage your rat's respiratory system.

How often should I change my rat's bedding?

You should spot-clean your rat's bedding daily and do a complete bedding change every 3-7 days, depending on how many rats you have and how large their cage is. For heavily soiled areas, change immediately to prevent ammonia buildup.
