to provide somewhat a natural environment for them. Remember they come form an area where they forage for food in fields of tall grasses and so forth, it is important for them to have something under food that is comfortable and natural to them, and also so they do not have t stand in their urine which they would never do in the wild.

So they arent sleeping eating playing on top of their urine and poop. Would you like to run around in your pee all day? You have to be careful on what kinds you use though. Cedar is VERY bad for them and should not be used at all. Only use Kiln Dried Pine or a paper based bedding. Many people even use fleece with towels underneath, including myself. pets question and answers,www.5d2d.com
