    Animal cage sawdust

    Hi guys,

    Sorry if this is a daft question but I'm about to start a compost heap and was wondering whether I can add the dirty sawdust from my sons animal cages (there mice and a hamster if it makes any difference).

    Will this add anything to the compost or would the smell attract rodents?

    Thanks for any advice

    I personally would have no problems adding it to the compost heap.

      I add my chickens, snake, gerbils and (when I had them) rabbits and guineas bedding. All good!

        If you still have doubts GG, you could wrap the pet waste in newspaper then sandwich it between 2 layers of "green" waste.

              I have read many times that Two_Sheds composts her pet droppings & bedding with no problems

                Mix it up with the greens well as it takes quite a long time to break down
