I have used Auboise I found it a nightmare to clear up, and Erm it got stuck in the boys bits.:vom:

I find bed Excel works well it really is trial and error.

They know, it's the reason why I'm here! :tu:
 
well I bought some Auboise its just wood chip I thought you couldn't use 'sawdust' with guinea pigs. I use 'Snowflake' for my budgies I could have used that instead!
Can someone explain the difference of sawdust and Auboise?
 
hi its from the core of the hemp plant,it is ten times more absorbent than wood shavings.it composts easily,and is more sustainable than wood shavings.top layer stays dry,whilst the moisture goes to the bottom.it is very good for areas that recieve alot of moisture,that is its strength.it had not got any phenoils in it,usually fairy dust free,it costs more than woodshavings.:)

thanks so much for that! I wonder if it would be any good for my budgies! maybe need to try it x
 
should be very good for your budgies.It goes along way.if you drive,best place to source it is at a horse feed store.x
 
I use Auboise and I love it! My three girls (no boy bits to worry about!) are in a 24 sq ft shed and a bale lasts about 6 weeks (I only end up removing about 1/3 of the bedding each week) recently had to try a bale of miscanthus bedding as they were out of Auboise and I don't like it as much, it's dustier and the bits are bigger which makes scooping out the soiled areas harder as the clumps fall apart
