I know there are other threads that talk about substrates but I couldn't easily find one that specifically asked what I want to know. So thought I'd try to get people's specific opinions on this for both rodents and snakes. I know there are other options but these two seem to get the most mention around here.
I currently use Oz Pet with shredded paper for my rats so they can make nests which I change once a week. I find it can start to smell a little later in the week but generally it's pretty good and doesn't get all wet and gross even if I accidentally miss a week. I haven't tried Breeder's Choice though and don't know if it is better.
For my snakes I just use newspaper but it stays wet and stinks even when I change it after every poo. So I am planning on moving to something else.
So I just wanted to know which one will soak up the liquid and smell the best for both of these uses and if there are any health issues with using either of these with snakes (apart from not feeding them on it).
Cheers
