Corncob
Corncob is a rather coarse bedding option.
I've heard that it can cause digestive problems, though it never happens when I use it.
I don't like it as a base, because it doesn't allow the gerbils to create burrows.
It is also quite hard, and not very comfortable. I occasionally use it for lining tanks.

pros:
readily available,
pleasing to the eye, absorbent. |
cons:
coarse,
not very cheap, doesn't hold burrows, can cause problems if ingested. |
