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 • 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 • Apr 13, 2018
This product contains 99% dust-free material and will not release dust after burrowing.
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 • Apr 05, 2018
This product is unscented.
Is this good bedding for guinea pigs I heard pine shaves was the best so was wondering this be good ?
Answer by • Apr 10, 2021
This bedding is suitable for guinea pigs and is more comfortable than shavings alone because of their sensitive feet.
I bought this to use for my baby parrots in the brooder and in the nest boxes, it smelled so bad that I threw it out. It’s a very strong odor! I purchased 2 bags so I opened the second to see if that had the same odor and sadly it did. Trash!

good... but sometimes a little dusty
Care-fresh is still better than he old wooden litters which can be
even dustier and have chemicals that are harmful to breath for
pets and their people who have asthma issues! I will continue
to use this!

Bedding
We neutered our bunny and this bedding was soft enough for his recovery. I use it in his litter box over pelleted litter to soften where he spends a lot of time. It does a great job of absorbing the urine.

Carefresh Small Animal Bedding Natural
This bedding is the best dust free and textured mix that I have found! It also cuts down pet smell incredibly. The Chewy website is user friendly and I am signing up for Auto Pay!

It's okay
The color makes spot cleaning difficult because you can't really see the poop. The bedding itself is less soft than others that I've tried but the odor absorption is good.

Awesome bedding
This stuff does the trick! Absorbs messes and odors well. My only complaint is that it’s not as soft as it used to be but my gerbils don’t seem to mind!

Excellent for rabbit litterboxes
I use this in my rabbits' litterboxes, topped with hay, and it works really well to absorb any odors and keep my bunnies clean and dry

Horrible
This bedding smells horrible. Shortly after putting it in the cage my rats developed respiratory issues, the one of them passed away. We immediately tossed that bedding and put a different brand in the cage. Do not buy this stuff!
