Kaytee Aspen Small Animal Pet Bedding For Pet Guinea Pigs, Rabbits, Hamsters, Gerbils, and Chinchillas, 19.7 Liters

I've been using the Kaytee Aspen Small Animal Pet Bedding for my guinea pigs, and overall, I'm quite pleased with it. The bedding is made from natural aspen wood shavings, which are free from harmful chemicals and additives, ensuring a safe and healthy environment for my pets. One of the things I love most about this bedding is its excellent absorbency. It keeps the cage dry and odor-free for a longer time compared to other beddings I've tried. Cleaning the cage has become much easier, and my guinea pigs seem to enjoy the clean and comfortable living space. The shavings are also virtually dust-free, which is a significant plus. I've noticed a reduction in respiratory issues since switching to this product. It's soft and gentle on my guinea pigs' feet, and they love burrowing and nesting in it. The only downside is that it can be a bit pricey compared to other options. However, the quality and peace of mind it provides are well worth the extra cost. If you're looking for a reliable and safe bedding option for your small pets, I highly recommend Kaytee Aspen Small Animal Pet Bedding.

We use this in our rat cage. I think it is very absorbent and helps keep the smell down and one bag gets us several cage cleanings. We clean his cage twice a week but could probably wait a little longer.

Kaytee is a good brand especially for small animals. I've used their bedding and accessories to make my small pets' lives happier, healthier and safer.

52.4 L size is right for our 36×18 vivarium. Seems like a good clean product and is priced fairly. Our sweet corn snake is happy.

Works well to almost eliminate odor of guinea pigs hutch. No dust, however some pieces were large, like sticks instead of chips.

Easier for cleaning

I'm guessing it varies by season and batch, the bag I received was dust free, very soft to the touch, and no bugs so far. Watched my hamster very closely when I switched to this, no sneezes, coughs, or scratching! He's happy to burrow in it and it doesn't stick to his fur or anything at all. Smell is mellow and pleasant, reminds me of pencil shavings. Bag has no smell indoors where we keep it (keeps bugs away hopefully). The $7 bag was larger than I was expecting, meant to use this for a short bit before getting "bulk" but it'll last a decent bit for the money (single dwarf hamster). Experiment with what your hammie likes for depth. Mine doesn't care for a hugely deep burrow (I think he's lazy sometimes) but some like a 6-8". So it could get used up quicker than we use it. No complaints though, its soft enough to handle barehanded, I got no splinters or anything.

I used this for the winter in an insulated feral cat house that I made out of a Rubbermaid container and the cats loved it. I know they say to use hay but my local store was out, all they had was pine straw. I knew that wasn’t good for warmth, but remembered we had hamsters and how warm it kept them. So I purchased this to try out and put a little catnip ball in there to draw them in, so they knew it was a shelter. Immediately I noticed the shavings around the back patio where I have it set up. We had a very mild winter this year in the panhandle of Florida but they still needed it. I’ll use this bedding from now on.
