I use carefresh mostly (I'm in the UK) as one of my gerbils developed an allergy to the old bedding. Kaytee clean and cosy is what I think I will try when I clean the tanks next month. My gerbil was constantly sneezing and had a runny nose I was thinking it was a disease at first but I googled it and switched the bedding and that seemed to work. Hemp is excellent and I have used it once before but it is quite hard to find in my area. You can get Hugro Hemp from Zooplus, but it's £29 for 10kg, or Hemparade/Sicco floor hemp for £20 14kg (but it's got poorer reviews), I bought Hempbed hemp from ebay for £20 for 15kg, but I took a bit of gamble on it as I couldn't find many reviews on it (I also looked for reviews from Germany and some other N European countries). All prices including delivery. I don't have any Gerbils yet, but I poured 3/4 of the bag in 1 go into the tank, their was some dust (wouldn't their always be pouring that much?), but not excessive I think. Hopefully I'll get some Gerbils in a week or 2 who will give a more expert review . Theirs also Aubiose (hemp) bedding for £20 for 20kg from Amazon, and £20.60 from Omlet (good reviews from both sites). I did look at Aubiose myself, but rejected it in the end, I can't remember why now [edit] looking up my other post in 'Substrate', apparently some reviews mention dust, but maybe I was being overly harsh about it. Also a young youtuber I watch from time to time (Erin's ark, who has Gerbils), did a quick review of it and she thought it wasn't very absorbent, which seems counter to what it is, but their you have it. I need to go through all the Amazon & Zoo plus reviews at some point too . Just remembered from my post in the stickified 'Substrate' thread, you can also get Aubiose from SPR ctr for £18 delivered .
nycgerbillover The above mentioned Hempbed is made by a firm in Canada, perhaps that would be a viable option for you?
