Carefresh Small Animal Bedding, Natural

My first purchase of this was an enormous disappointment. It was light in a BAD way whereas the bedding came in large pieces and it was light, well by light I mean like paper, and by the paper I mean it as literally like the paper you get from when you get something shipped but I ripped it into large bedding pieces and threw it in their cage. But that was the only thing I wouldn't have given it 1 star, I brought this for almost $17 and expected good quality and I got thin pieces (that were as thin as copy paper) and they were large. The smell was unbearable; it smelt like it came right of a factory full of mold. When my guinea pigs use the bathroom, there is no odor control and it absorbs nothing My first purchase of this was an enormous disappointment.

I use this litter for my rabbit. I change the litterbox every day and it smells by the time it's been a little less than a day. It can stick to the box which makes it hard to work with. I used to use yesterday's news but it was too hard on my rex rabbit's feet leaving exposed skin. Since switching to this litter her feet are back to a full fur covering. I would use this if you have a rabbit with little or fine fur on their feet like a rex rabbit does. Other breeds have more fur and padding on their feet could pick a different litter.

I had been using this product on auto ship for nearly a year but the past 3 or so times I’ve found it has decreased in quality. It actually smells right out of the package. It is a terrible mildew smell. The bedding is in huge cotton-like clumps and the dust is awful. After literally one day I can smell the Oder from my guinea pig in top of the mildew smell. I wouldn’t recommend this product anymore.

I noticed a change in quality a few months ago. The bedding seemed lighter or had smaller pieces but didn't think anything of it. Then my husband started to point out that the rabbit's house (we have 2 rabbits) smells almost daily. Now I clean out their litter box area every other day, sometimes EVERY day & it will still smell & be totally soiled. Prior to this, he had never complained about their odor. Once I started reading other reviews, I realized I wasn't alone. Something changed here & it's not nearly as effective in absorbing & odor control. Going to try different brands of natural bedding.

This is my favorite carefresh bedding but quality seems to have gone down. Could be just the past few bags but it has been a lower quality than usual. I keep getting them feeling like the bedding has been soggy and is very stuck together and hard to pull apart recently. Not how it used to be /:

I am pleasantly surprised that this litter really does cut down on urine odor! I have been using a layer on the bottom of my guinea pig's cage, topped with a layer of pine shavings. I recommend it for those of us who prefer to clean the cage thoroughly not more than once a week.

My rabbit pens need to be cleaned at least 2x a day. They really like carefresh. I have tried other brands and it does not make the grade. When you have 3 rabbits thumping at the same time you listen. Carefresh is the only way to go. Rabbit approved. Chewy has been just fantastic on getting me all my products very quickly. Thanks Chewy

I follow a lot of bunny owners and they all use to recommended care fresh but I just got it a it doesn’t feel as soft I got a bigger bag that was cheaper at the pet store and it was wayyy softer

I typically like carefresh but this one is not good at all. The odor control is nonexistent. The whole room smelled of urine. There’s dust when you try to spread it around the cage. Won’t purchase again.

This is the only bedding I use. Every other bedding has caused health problems or is not sufficient enough for smells. Perfect for my bunnies and pet ratties.
