Absorbent of smell and liquid

This has worked the best for my buns let boxes at absorbing liquid and urine smell. It keeps their feet dry and cushioned. The nesting pieces are bigger than regular

This has worked the best for my buns let boxes at absorbing liquid and urine smell. It keeps their feet dry and cushioned. The nesting pieces are bigger than regular carefresh bedding and less messy.

Not at all soft and comfy

This bedding does not have large pieces as proclaimed. The pieces are so compressed, they are like paper rocks. My bun struggles with sore hocks, so he needs something

This bedding does not have large pieces as proclaimed. The pieces are so compressed, they are like paper rocks. My bun struggles with sore hocks, so he needs something soft to sit on in his litter box. This is the worst paper bedding I’ve tried yet. Some are scratchy, some are hard; this is both. So far, Kaytee is the softest I’ve found. I sometimes have to dig out the super compressed pieces in that, but they don’t make up the bulk of the bedding. It is dust free, which is why I didn’t go down to one star. I’ll be returning the other two packages I bought during the Black Friday sale.

Great Product

I use this to put on one side of my rabbits litterbox. I put hay on the other side. I am very happy with the products from Carefresh. The bedding doesn't hold any

I use this to put on one side of my rabbits litterbox. I put hay on the other side. I am very happy with the products from Carefresh. The bedding doesn't hold any pee smells, which is definitely a plus!

Terrible Bedding

When I recieved my package it was smaller than what I can get in the store but the same price. Also the bedding was just aweful. Instead of being able to fluff it

When I recieved my package it was smaller than what I can get in the store but the same price. Also the bedding was just aweful. Instead of being able to fluff it up it was just large clumps of smashed paper. Nothing soft about it for my bunny. She kicked it out of her cage!!

As advertised the pieces are larger than the care fresh small animals “bedding”. We prefer the “bedding” because the pieces are softer. These pieces are a little more chunky and hard and not as comfortable.

Favorite staple bedding

My mouse has allergies to other beddings I've tried. But this one is great. It's his main bedding. I mix 3/4 this with 1/4 aspen bedding. Its not too dusty, easily

My mouse has allergies to other beddings I've tried. But this one is great. It's his main bedding. I mix 3/4 this with 1/4 aspen bedding. Its not too dusty, easily burrowed/nested in. He likes to move the larger pieces to one side of his cage and shred the smaller pieces even small to make a nest.

Rabbit nesting/litter fill

These are in my auto-ship listing and used daily to keep my rabbit's litter boxes fresh. They help keep odors away and make cleaning the litterbox easy.

Smells bad?

I used to like this more than the other one because the pieces were bigger which is good for my guinea pig. However, now it seems that the pieces are super hard

I used to like this more than the other one because the pieces were bigger which is good for my guinea pig. However, now it seems that the pieces are super hard and when I opened the bag it smelt bad, kind of like vomit.

Garbage don’t bother

Says nesting material but is just recycled paper clumps. Works like litter but other stuff is better for that. As nesting material goes I’d be better off using shredded
