Rat Bedding, Litter & Accessories
To keep your rats happy and your cage tidy, you'll need to get some good rat litter and bedding to put in your enclosure. Chewy carries all the best rat litter and bedding types and brands, so you'll have no trouble finding the perfect material for lining the bottom of your cage.
The ideal rat bedding and litter material will be dust-free, odor- and moisture-absorbing, and comfortable for your pet. Most paper bedding and litter for small animals fits this description and has the added benefit of being compostable and biodegradable, too. Paper bedding material also saves on fuel use by being lightweight, and some of it is made from recycled pulp to reduce the strain on the environment. You can find paper bedding in many different textures and piece sizes, and choose from lots of fun colors, as well. Shredded paper can also make a good and cheap rat bedding material, but make sure to use ink-free or non-toxic printed paper and avoid newsprint.
Soft aspen shavings are dust-free, odor-free and suitable for rats, but they can be less absorbent than paper and may not reduce odor as well. You can also use kiln-dried pine shavings that are free from harmful aromatic oils, or try a product made from eco-friendly pelleted wheat straw. Some rat owners will even use cloth or fleece bedding, but make sure it isn't ripped or fraying, or it may cause tangles and injury. Avoid rat litter and bedding made from cedar or unprocessed pine shavings, as their aromatic oils can cause respiratory distress in your pets. Corn cob bedding can cause moisture, mold and dust problems, too, so choose something else if you can.
Whatever you choose to use to line your cage, you'll find great deals on it and all your other rat supplies at Chewy.com. Shop for essentials like rat food, rat treats, rat bedding and the rat cages to put them in with just a few clicks. You'll find a great selection of rat litter and bedding, so you can stock up on loads of your little buddy's favorite type!
Frequently Asked Questions about Rat Bedding, Litter & Accessories
What do you put on the bottom of a rat cage?
Put three to six inches of rat-safe bedding on the bottom of the rat cage. Choose bedding made of soft paper, non-aromatic wood shavings like aspen or even hay. You can also provide different types of bedding in the cage so your rats can choose what they like; they may prefer hay or paper strips to build their nests with, fluffy paper for burrowing and play, and absorbent granules for litter purposes. Putting more absorbent litter like paper in areas like litter boxes or corners where rats like to use the toilet can help with odor control, too.
What is the difference between rat litter and bedding?
The difference between rat litter and bedding is that you put rat litter in a rat litter box for elimination and rat bedding at the bottom of the cage for nesting, resting and playing. That said, the substrates you can use as rat litter are often the same as those used as bedding. Paper bedding, aspen shavings and various types of pellet litter can all be used as either bedding or litter. You can also use scoopable wheat or recycled newsprint litter as rat litter box fillers. It is usually recommended to use different substrates for rat bedding and litter purposes, so your rat will know the difference between the designated potty area and the rest of the cage.
Do rat cages need bedding and litter?
Rat cages do need bedding and litter, although you can just use bedding throughout if your cage doesn't have a litter box. If you do have a litter box in your rat cage, it is usually recommended that you fill it with a different type of litter than you are using as bedding to ensure your rat knows where to eliminate.
