Carefresh Small Animal Bedding, Natural

I have many litter boxes in my house. Over the years, I have tried every single cat litter that has come on the market - looking for the perfect one that is low tracking, cheap, controls odor, not to heavy to carry to the second story, and most importantly - one the cats will USE. I finally decided to try thinking outside of the box, and decided to try this small animal paper bedding! It fills the bill for me on all points! It's brilliant! I have four cats who have happily converted, and for the several holdouts - we are using a mix of Tidy cat and bedding. I am confident we will eventually convert all litter boxes in the house to the bedding. And I have one guy (15 y o) who has NEVER I have many litter boxes in my house.

And he is now one of the converts - preferring soft paper bedding on his feed. … more

I received this package after I had to switch back from the one I tried last month. There is a very bad chemical smell coming from the bedding this time, I never had that happen before. I used this product many times in the past and never smelled anything from it.

Here’s how you use this! Don’t put this as a floor to your big cage. Use carpet squares from $ tree and only put this in the litter box.otherwise it’s a waste of $ and messy! In the litter box do layers of newspaper so you can pull it all up & out by the pages later when cleaning. Then do a 1in layer of this product especially in the corners. Then do a layer of hay. They poop while eating and hay is a good way to keep the pieces from spilling if your bunny knocks it around. This product is safer than wood shavings!!!! Those can cause upper respiratory problems leading to death (RIP Mittenz!!!) but this is totally safe. It comes in a really tight block so when you take it out, really shake it Here’s how you use this! Don’t put this as a floor to your big cage.

Was open to giving this small animal bedding a try based on reviews and price. I am so sorry I did. The smell once you open the bag is worse than a dirty guinea pig cage. I don't know why but it is hard, dusty and smells foul. I will not be purchasing this again.

Cinnamon the Russian hamster really loves it. She makes her bed and completely covers her self. The rabbits Bruce and Thump really move it around when the cage is first changed. The only thing is there is paper dust from the rabbits’ excessive romping.

I order the bedding for my hamster and I didn’t even realize how much I was getting until I received it and it’s alot it will last forever! It’s a really good product too definitely will but it again and threw chewy!!! I love it!!!

This litter is already known to be top notch. I don’t need to say much more then that but I’ll give you a little. First of all, being a recycled paper product, already set me at ease. Being able to toss this used litter in the yard waste canister also is another great benefit to this litter. Low litter dust is a great perk for your pet. Low litter dust is also a benefit for asthmatic pet owners as well. The Oder control is amazing for a simple recycled paper product! Absorption is incredible! This company also makes color variations wich I’m sure involves bleaches and dies. I would recommend not using these because your animal will not benefit from these unnecessary processes.

I have no issues with this bedding. I only wish all of our bunnies always used their litter pans like they were supposed to because we have three and two of them just go wherever they want on the bottom of the hutch which makes it expensive buying bedding.

In the past I have used a different brand of litter; unfortunately not sold by Chewy. Decided to give this brand a try for the convenience of being able to add it to my autoship orders. For 2 ferrets, this brand did not do a very good job of keeping the odor down. The litter is also much more compacted than the brand I usually use, this may be why it was not as absorbent. I used this product once, and went back to the old brand.

I usually buy this for my 2 rabbits that live in a large shed with windows. This goes in their 'potty pen'. It's much cheaper on Chewy than in the local store. This is my preferred choice of bedding for their potty needs. They have a corner of baled hay for bedding to sleep in. It absorbs well and lasts awhile before I have to change it, and helps the shed not be all stinky. Very glad Chewy is carrying more small animal products.
