Kaytee Aspen Small Animal Bedding

I have had a long history with hamsters, and right how I currently have 7 of them as I unknowingly adopted a pregnant hamster several months ago. I was initially using paper bedding, but it caused their habitats to smells within a couple of days, so I switched to pine. I decided to switch from pine to aspen after reading how pine can lead to respiratory problems in these small creatures. I read the reviews from others on this product who stated it was very soft, so I decided to give it a go. I could not be happier. It is very soft and does not have a strong smell to it. My hamsters get their homes cleaned once a week, and I have had no issues with stinky houses between cleanings.

I can clean each of the 7 houses for a month with one bag. Also, a majority of my hamsters have really long hair, and I was having to trim their hair each week as the pine bedding was getting caught in it. I have not had that issue since I began using the aspen bedding. I highly recommend this product for hamsters! … more

I ordered this bedding very carefully as I was trying to find the right bedding for my rats. So, I ordered the smaller version and after a week of use I can say they enjoy it. Of course there was a little bit of sneezing when I first put it in, but once they got used to it was totally fine. I do recommend mixing this bedding with a paper type of bedding like Kaytee Clean and Cozy.

I have this auto-shipped to my house every month or so. I usually spend hundreds of dollars worth of bedding because of how deep I make the burrowing space for my hamster, but with this, I spend no more than $35 a month! There is one drawback, though; the dust. It does come a tiny bit dusty, but it isn’t that bad. Overall, great product. Hamster approved!

Tho' I DO like to use aspen, this Kaytee brand claims "all natural", yet each bag so far has had a few large pieces in them that had paint on them...like they were reusing any thing made of aspen, natural or not. Has not hurt my critters so far, as I throw out the pieces as I find them. Still an ok deal.

I bought these because I have tree allergies and the pine shavings were making ME itchy. I found this on Chewy and the price is so much better. It does a great job soaking up my bunnies urine and I’m pleased with the price given that aspen shavings are always so expensive. The bale is HUGE. Definitely my go to!

The bag is HUGE and a little goes a long way but you are changing it daily. With another preferred brand/type I only had to change once a week. The smell is awful in one day and it makes a hot mess dishing it out. The rabbits seem to like it better then the preferred brand I was using (not kicking it out) but we now have these tiny gnats (like 8-10) lingering around because of the smell, it's like being in the barn (house bunnies). I do not recommend.

I'm so glad I bought this bedding for my rabbit Midnight Chocolate. She's so happy with the new bedding. I also love how it's biodegradable as well. Will definitely buy it again.

Wow! Was pleasantly surprised at just how big this bundle was. I mix the Aspen bedding in with an absorbent material to cut down odor. Will purchase again!

I have tried so many different beddings with my guinea pigs and hamster. I have to say for the guinea pigs this bedding is the best. And for the price it’s even more worth it. Stay on top of cage cleanings and this will be the best bedding you’ve ever tried. Great smell too.

Usually I don’t use Aspen bedding because it’s either too chunky or if fine is splintery. This managed to be finer without the splinters. I still threw a thin layer of paper bedding over it for more cushioning, but I would consider buying again unlike other Aspen brands.
