I also use hemp bedding after trying everything else but I absolutely love the hemp bedding I spend less money since I find the hemp lasts much longer. I pay 18.00 for 40 pounds of hemp bedding from a local feed store near me I find the stall pellets with the hemp bedding ontop works really well for us. Especially since my yard is extremely wet 40 pounds of stall pellet bedding is only 5.99
