Mouse & Rat Bedding & Litter

do rats prefer to sleep on bare plastic?

I have four pet rats, about 7 months old. I've noticed recently that their pee is smelling EXTREMELY strong, not at all their usual cage smell. We've been having to change their bedding every day because the smell is burn your nose strong as if we've been letting it sit for days. We haven't changed their bedding type (we use recycled paper bedding). We recently changed their diet, though, as recommended by our usual vet. They are on oxbow rat pellets and weekly fruits & veggies. Help??

Do you have any suggestions for litter box or harness training. Also, can I use pine shavings for their bedding as it is not a red wood?

Can guinea pigs use this type of bedding? Is the bedding dangerous to them?

I switched my guinea pigs to Kaytee Lavender bedding. They both have food, hay, and water. Two bowls of food, two bottles of water, and two hay containers. They both seem to be chewing on the bedding and I'm worried. Should this be a concern? I'm worried about their digestive system from chewing on the bedding. My girl friend said her guinea does it too when she's bored, could this be why they are chewing it? They share a cage.

Hello. Just to ask regarding my hamsters. I have wooden toys in their cage and both hamsters tend to bite on. Is there any chances of injuries like splinters? Should i remove the toys? Both hamsters also tend to dig around with the bedding and move the bedding around. Is there any possibilities that they dont like the type of bedding?
