Product Description

Carefresh Pet Bedding - The safest, healthiest bedding for your pet. Carefresh Pet Bedding is a patented small animal bedding made from reclaimed pulp waste. This short-fiber pulp can't be made into paper; it's free of inks, dyes, clay and chemicals used in the paper making process. It is processed to remove potentially harmful aromatic hydrocarbons that exist in pine and cedar oils. Carefresh Pet Bedding is tested for containments and sanitized to 380F to reduce bacteria, mold and fungus. Unsurpassed odor control. Carefresh Small Animal Bedding provides unsurpassed odor control for your pet habitat. Unlike other bedding material, Carefresh pet bedding works to suppress the formation of ammonia, the primary odor caused by pet urine. Super Absorbent. Carefresh Small Animal Bedding absorbs 3x its weight in liquids from pet urine or water bottle leaks so cages stay clean and dry. Carefresh Pet Bedding also lasts twice as long as shavings so you save time and money. Less dust. Carefresh Pet Bedding is softer and less dusty than other forms of small animal bedding. It's cleaner and healthier for you and your pet. Good for the environment. CareFRESH Pet Bedding has turned pulp and paper industry waste into pet owners' favorite brand of pet bedding.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best bedding, December 8, 2010

I love that this is made from recycled paper so it's more environmentally friendly. As well, pine and cedar bedding can cause breathing problems for small animals so paper is really the best way to go. It does a very good job of absorbing smell and fluids. I vastly prefer this over any wood shaving type of bedding. Plus my bunny likes to chew on her bedding and I know that since it's just pain paper (no dyes, no wood chips) she's safe. Because she's litter trained I only need to spot clean the cage. One bag lasts me months at a time.

What you see in the picture is what you get! This natural pet bedding is the only type I use for my dwarf hamster and it works great! It is super absorbent and easy to clean up. As with any bedding though, it should be changed about every week to give your critter a clean environment!

Let me first say that I breed mice, and have been doing so on and off for about 18 years. I have a bit of an idea of what I'm saying, although I claim no professional expertise. I usually use pine chips (cedar is bad for small animals' lungs).

Well. I found this stuff on sale at petco online, and I was pretty enthusiastic, both about the price (BOGO) and about the facts that it's environmentally friendly and also supposedly more absorbent and less dusty.

So, the package arrived and I replaced the bedding in several cages with this stuff. First off, let me just point out that if a cow were to chew a notebook of recycled paper, spit it back up, and then let that dry in the sun, that's what this look like. Ok, fine, we're helping the environment, right? Except all the mice in the cage are covered in the dust so generously included in the package...again, I'm no expert, and I didn't MEASURE the dust particles, but I'm preeeety secure feeling when I say this stuff was more dusty than pine chips.

Ok, fine, it's dusty and hideous. Maybe it's more absorbent, which, honestly, isn't super important to me since I change the bedding every 2-3 days, but ok. So, my oldest child has a pair of female mice in his room, and while we were waiting for a replacement water bottle to arrive, we used a dish of water. Two days after changing the bedding, and this stupid stuff around the water dish was RANK and MOLDY. YUK! Can someone point out the advantages here?

After a month of using this stuff, I'm never buying this crap again. It's hideous, my mice push it out of their bedding areas (they don't with pine chips) and if it's more absorbent, it's also a breeding ground for everything you don't want in your cage.

Seriously, go with pine chips. They're cheaper, most small animals like to chew the thicker bits, and if your cage smells gross, you should have changed the bedding yesterday anyway.
