Ratrations For Aubiose?

[RingoandOlly]

I was thinking of changing my pigs from wood shavings to aubiose and have found a website called ratRations.com who sell it in smaller amounts (a 20kg bale is too much for me!). I wondered has anyone tried it and does it look like proper aubiose or are they just trying to sell it with the brand name?

Here is the link
Aubiose - Chopped Hemp - £1.00 : ratRations.com

Looks like Aubiose to me, I use it with my hens.

Thanks, it appears to be quite sharp in the image though, is it softer than it looks? x

It's softer than it looks! It's quite alright to put your full weight on a hand/ bare foot. Obviously not as soft as some beddings but my pigs are very happy in it - even the pink feets!

Thanks! x

I use hemparade from zooplus which is lovely and soft and absorbent. Not sure how it compares price wise.

Thank you guys. At the moment I'm deciding between easibed and aubiose.

easibed is good,but i found it not as absorbent as hemp.

easibed is good,but i found it not as absorbent as hemp.

In that case, I'll go for aubiose. Thanks! x

Yes the smaller amounts RR sell is indeed Aubiose. They split bales themselves for people who have limited storage

I've ordered from ratrations many times for my rat food. They're fab.
