What are the differences? I know where they come from. I mean softness, density, best for burrowing, absorbency, smell etc.

What do most people on here use?

Its pretty much the same.

I use hemp, it has next to no smell, its absorbant and it looks clean (if that makes sense). My corn is always burrowing, I break down her tunnels every few days so she can make more.

Again they are pretty much the same, so I would use which ever one is more convenient.

i think as they're so similar any preference is often down to what's available locally?
