How much and where do you get it from - I currently use Megazorb but it is a bit of a nightmare to get hold of - usually have to stock up whilst in Peterborough visiting the folks - nearby stables is a bit unreliable.

I get it direct from the manufacturers as they are only 20 minutes drive away from me. I started using it a couple of weeks ago. It only costs me £4.23 for a bale the size of a bale of shavings . I have found the guinea pigs seem a lot dryer when I clean them out than they were with the megazorb. Definate thumbs up here

sgprescue said:Im a very anti-sawdust, anti-woodshavings type of person :wink: Not only can it cause problems with the respiratory system (for any animal, not just rats :wink: ) it can also dry out the skin. If you rub some in your hands you will feel how dry your hands are.
