A Anastasia Guest Feb 12, 2019 #1 I use corn cob litter for my rats, they don't seem to mind it, but they eat it. Is it okay or should I be concerned?

(GMO corn has toxins in the kernels designed to kill rats and other "pests") Corn cob litter may be "overly absorbent" and therefore may cause ring tail, particularly in the winter when the environment is dryer Please see the link in the Reference Thread on Bedding/Litter https://www.ratshackforum.com/threads/reference-thread-read-only.35894/
