Does anyone know about Aspen bedding for my pet rat in Melbourne, Victoria?

Question

I was wondering if anyone knew a brand name or a store which I could purchase aspen beddings. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Any local pet store will have bedding, even stores like target and wall-mart will sometimes carry pet supplies. If you can't find any aspen bedding, make sure to look for anything that says non-aromatic oils. Aspen is already non-aromatic, so it's the best obvious choice, but some other woods and wood mixes are non-aromatic.

*NEVER use pine or cedar, as they contain highly aromatic oils which are very dangerous for the delicate respiratory system of rodents, especially rats.

Answer 2

You can always order it on the web but I don't think  that  will be necessary.Go to your local pet shop and ask for it or Carefresh or another non-toxic bedding material.Maybe they could order it for you if they don't have it.
