Hemp, Aspen, or Softsorbent ?

I have not had experience with hemp or softsorbent although I do currently use aspen. Aspen works fantastically, it has no aromatc-oils, absorbs the urine well and is generally easy to maintain. I tend to do a spot check every other day and a full on clean once a week. The only downside to using aspen is the cost. I personally get the biggest bag as it is the cheapest, but even then it only lasts me a couple of weeks and costs $25 (Australian Dollars).

Well, I'm going to try the Aspen.. My project for this evening is tinkering with the cage (again, LoL) and I ended up getting a 113Liter bag of Aspen for just under $13.00 (I couldn't believe how good the price was!) So, we'll see - I am hoping the piggies like it (and I am hoping I do too!)

I'll let you all know how it goes!

Aspen for me it doesn't smell, isn't very dusty, doesn't cost my dad alot to buy, and lasts long. But I noticed it keeps the surface dry but the bottom is very wet and gross.
Softsorbent is great,doesn't smell, keeps down odors, Looks pretty cool in the cage, and my pigs just love it. The only downside is it cost about 13 dollars a big bag and that will only last a couple of litter box changes.

To some extent the bottom does get wet. But what I do is lay a good, thick layer of aspen with newspaper underneath. Every other day I do a spot clean, I remove a 1/3 of the layer of aspen and any other soiled sections. If it is really bad I wrap up that section and replace it, quite simple really. Because my cage is now quite big, I do not have to clean it out as often either. I clean the top level once a week because they kick the aspen down to the bottom level even though their is a ramp, and the bottom level every second week.
