Questions & Answers

I have recently purchase the carefresh bedding for my two young rats. I was curious if it contains baking soda as I have been told it is toxic to rats. Is this true?
Answer by Chewy • Oct 27, 2017
CareFresh removed the baking soda from their odor stop formula used in pet bedding in January 2015. It was tested as safe. However, some packaging will still say baking soda on it because it took some time to get new bags and they did not want to delay product availability. To identify a bag without baking soda please check the lot number printed on the side of the bag. If the first set of numbers ends in a “5” then it does not contain baking soda.
Due to rats hypersensitivity to dust, I was wondering if this would be suitable for them. I know it says 99% dust free, but I'm sure after burrowing dust will be released. Is this the case?
Answer by Chewy • Apr 13, 2018
This product contains 99% dust-free material and will not release dust after burrowing.
Will I need to freeze this bedding to kill any insects?
Answer by Chewy • Oct 18, 2017
We don't recommend freezing the bedding because it will make it less absorbent.
Does the bedding have a distinct fresh scent? I read that guinea pigs can develop certain issues from the smell of scented bedding.
Answer by Chewy • Apr 05, 2018
This product is unscented.

Why change the composition?

I’ve been happy with this product for several years. However, my last order was totally different. The product does not expand to the previous volume and I’ve run through it much more quickly. I’m going to try one more time and then will need to find an alternative.

Terrible stink!

I have been buying the natural Carefresh bedding for two years now. The last six months I have noticed the natural bedding smells like kerosene. Stinks up the whole house and there is no way I'm using this for my guinea pigs! Carefresh quality is going down the drain. I recommend not buying this!

Bad Batch?

I have had rabbits since 2014 and have really only used this brand of litter from the beginning. To this day, I have had no issues with the product, it does it’s job and I’ve never had to worry about the quality. Today as I was changing the litter box, I noticed a bunch of dark bits and a little shard of what looked to be glass. Thought that it was really weird, but maybe it was from the container I kept it in (not likely, but you never know). So I threw that away and tried again and sure enough, same thing, and another little shard. Don’t know what’s going on, hopefully just a bad batch. Be aware and check your litter.

Great for hedgehogs

I purchased this to use as bedding for my hedgehog, Pepper. It worked well at absorbing the waste as well as hiding any odors. My hedgehog is sick now and she doesn’t have much time left, and so I use a bit extra bedding for her to dig in because it’s her favorite thing to do. The bedding helps me make Pepper’s last days joyful ones.

Economical

This material is a great nest builder! I don't cover the entire bottle of the cage with it, as my hamster insists on using all the fluffy stuff for her nest. I use smaller absorbant granules throughout the rest of the cage. This material is clean and was on sale, so the big bag will last me a while and was a great price!

Not My Favorite

I bought this bedding thinking it was a good deal, but don't plan on re-ordering. I have used the white version of the same bedding before, and in comparison, the natural is much more hard and rough. I prefer the softer white bedding for my bunny, and he seems to as well. He has just been pushing this stuff out of his way which kind of defeats the purpose. Giving this 2 stars because it has done a decent job absorbing urine and controlling odor, but the white is just a good, feels way better, and is bunny-paw approved.

Perfect for guinea pigs

My guinea pigs love this bedding and so do I! It’s soft, comfy, and absorbent. I cover a puppy training pad with this bedding and it’s the perfect mix to keep two guinea pigs’ cage suitable for about 6 days.

Great bedding

We love this bedding in any color. It is normally a little less expensive on Chewy than in stores, and is much safer than pine bedding for a rabbit's lungs.

CareFresh FTW

I use this bedding for general litterbox places, and have for years. Recently it's become impossible to come by locally, though. It is a godsend being able to order bedding online and have it delivered so quickly!

Economical & Absorbent.

I purchase on sale as bedding overall gets pricey and only lasts so long. This is a bit rough but you can add some softer stuff to to it on top or in sleeping quarters, etc. You do need to break this up in your hands as it is condensed in packaging. It holds up better than most of the softer bedding. Not overtly dusty or odd smelling.
