Has anyone used either of these in their rabbits litter tray? I am thinking of using one of them for my rats as substrate and wondered if it would be any good with rabbits, the hemcore is citronella scented too so should help keep flys away!

I have not used hemcore but have used aubiose as bedding for my guineas for over 2 years and love it!! My bun lives indoors and I did try it over newspaper in her littler tray but she kicked it everywhere so I gave up :lol: it would be great in an outdoor hutch over newspaper though!

Aubiose is great as it is totally compostable, absorbant, non irritant and good value as it goes way further than megazorb (which I hate-dusty stuff :evil

I use hemcore :wave: its brill, great odour control and like you said the citronella helps keep flies at bay.

I also use hemcore for my hamsters, torts and guinea pigs

When I had Hemcore, I couldn't stand the smell! I couldn't use the bag up quick enough! :shock:

When you use Auboise or Hemcore (hemp bedding) for a horse you need to dampen it when you first put it in, do you do that for the hamsters and guinea pigs or just use it as is?

Thankyou, I might try that for my hamster and the guinea pigs as I have to go to a second farmshop to get Magazorb which I usually use as the first store I use don't have it (but have nicer hay!) but they do stock Auboise bedding. Do you find the hamsters nibble it? It's not harmful is it?
