If a rat sneezes even ONCE can they have it? Cus mine sneeze but not too much, and they don’t have weird breathing. I’m a tad worried. At the moment I’m using cat wood little things, they are like… wooden pellets. I don’t know if it’s that? But I have used carefresh before and they still sneezed a bit. We don’t get much carefresh here in Ireland so it’s pretty hard to get my hands on it and it only comes in small bags which isn’t enough for my rats. So what else is good to use for bedding that won’t harm them? And that’s sort of cheap?

I know I can us Aspen, but I can’t get a hold of 20euro a week.
Also whats the best rat food to give them at the moment I’m giving them Reggie Rat and picking out all the dried corn cus I know it’s not good for them.

I currently use Fresh Step clumping and I’m quite happy with it. It clumps nice and hard, isn’t too dusty, and absorbs all the odors. However, it’s a clay based litter and I wonder if that is the most healthy thing for my cats.

Has anyone tried corn based litters? Do they clump hard? Are they dusty? How is the odor control? Please comment on your experiences.

How about other litters like wood pellets, newspaper or wheat based litters? Same questions as the corn based litter.

If I decide to switch, will it make a mess if I mix clay with another kind of litter, or should I just make a clean cut-over? My cats aren’t very picky (so far), so I don’t think they’d need much of a transition period.

Which is the best brand of corn/pellet stove to purchase? I have heard and seen negative comments about some corn/pellet stoves and I don’t care to waste 1500 to 2000 dollars. An item like this is non-returnable and non-refundable so I’m hoping to find the right stove that doesn’t have motor problems, auger problems, or problems with pellets running over the side into the burner causing you to push them by hand. I’ve been to Home Depot and Lowes but many of the complaints on Amazon are from people who purchased from there. Anyone have a specific brand, possibly one that is listed in the top 10 of consumer reports? Thank you in advance.

There are tons of them around. They burn well in a charcoal bbq. I wonder if they can be used in a high efficiency wood stove? I’ve seen stoves which burn corn, so that got me wondering.

I have 2 on my back and one on my stomach. I just washed all the bedding and sleep wear in hot soapy water, and dried them, and sprayed the mattress, & couches with lysol. The bite sites only have one bite, so I don’t think they are bed bugs, but they are very itchy. We don’t have any animals, but the man who lived here until April had a cat. We just got a pellet stove and have been burning corn and wood pellets. Does anyone have any answers? My husband says its just a nervous condition! HELP!

I just got a 4 bill for oil. The way the prices are going, a change needs to be made. My oil furnace is 20 years old, so it needs to go. My current options are:
1)Replace the oil furnace with a new more efficient one.
2)Convert to Natural Gas. The gas company is willing to install service up to the house for free. It would be my responsibility to have a contractor run a line from the house to the furnace and buy a new furnace.
3)Purchase and install a coal stove: I live in Central PA (coal region). 1 ton of coal is about 0. My buddy burned 3 tons this winter in his larger house.
4)Purchase and install a corn/wood pellet stove. Also, cheap in the area.
I would appreciate anyone with experience in this field’s opinion. No way I can afford to heat the house next winter if oil prices continue to rise. Thanks.

I recently just purchased a Breckwell sp6000 multi fuel stove and I was wondering if anybody has any general information about this stove or if anybody else owns one? How much corn or pellets should this thing be burning. I’ve been running it for two weeks now and I’ve never had it set above the third heat setting and it just seems to be burning a LOT of fuel. For instance in two weeks I’ve went through 30 (40 pound) bags of pellets and 4 (50 pound) bags of corn. Does this seem normal or is this too much and if so what would be causing this? Any kind of feedback would be great.
