What is the best bedding to use with little mice?

Q. I've been using that soft carefresh bedding and they seem to really like it, but I know this bedding can cause breathing problems just like pine with some animals. I've tried Aspen and they don't like it at all. Also, is the Carefresh okay with Robo hamsters?
Actually Carefresh can cause breathing problems in rats...trust me I know. I lost one because of this.

How do you make fleece bedding for a Guinea Pig?

Q. I've heard that fleece bedding is cheaper thank regular Guinea Pig bedding. How do you go about doing this? Do you put twoels underneath the fleece or something? Also we have several fleece blankets already at our home. Will thoes work?

How often should i clean the bedding of my snake?

Q. I have aspin bedding on the bottom and im getting him soon so how often should i clean it? Its a ball python btw and how would i bathe him or is it not required?

A. Ball pythons only need to eat once a week. The packaging on most bedding says to change it every 2 weeks, but I only change my once every month. The aspen bedding collects the snake's waste easily so you can just take the waste balls out. You should change it immediately; however, if you ever notice mold or anything that shouldn't. That is possible since you need to spray the bedding often with water to keep the humidity up.
