What is the best thing to put on the bottom of a small pet cage?

The best thing to put on the bottom of a small pet cage is usually small animal bedding made specifically for that purpose. Most experts recommend fluffy paper fiber bedding or soft aspen wood shavings, but there are other bedding products that are safe for small animals, as well. Look for low-dust bedding that is odorless and nontoxic for your pet.

What is the difference between small animal bedding and litter?

The difference between small animal bedding and litter is that you put small animal litter in a litter box for elimination and bedding at the bottom of the cage for resting, digging and playing. If you do not have a litter box for your small pet, your pet's bedding will serve the same function as litter, catching waste and absorbing moisture and odor. The best substrates for small pet bedding often work well in a litter box, too.

Do small animals need bedding and litter?

Small animals do need bedding and litter to use for burrowing, nesting, resting, eliminating and playing. Choose a small, low-dust animal bedding that is soft and absorbent and be sure to change it regularly for comfort and good hygiene. Chewy has an excellent selection of small animal litter and bedding options to suit a variety of needs.
