Niteangel Hamster Bedding Air-dried Flower Small Animal Bedding, 170 g, natural

Flower small animal bedding from Niteangel is a 170 g bag of dried petals, including wheat, flax and yellow millet, that you can mix into a cage or use to build a nature-themed setup. The petals are hand-picked, sorted and air-dried, and the bag reseals after opening. The manufacturer lists it for small pets, among them hamsters, gerbils, mice, degus and guinea pigs.

How to use the flower bedding in a cage

The manufacturer says the petals can be mixed with other bedding, such as aspen or paper bedding, or used on their own to build a nature-themed cage. Either way, the flower bedding adds a layer of dried petals alongside whatever loose bedding already fills the habitat.

A bag holds 170 g (5.9 oz), so one bag covers a single mixing batch rather than a whole cage refill. Petals come in a variety of colours, which means the look of a handful changes from bag to bag.

Keeping the bag and the petals fresh

Close the resealable bag after each use and store it away from direct sunlight, as the manufacturer directs. In the habitat, wet or soiled petals should be picked out regularly and replaced with dry ones from the bag.

Which small pets is this flower bedding for?

The manufacturer lists the bedding for small pets, among them hamsters, gerbils, mice, degus and guinea pigs, and describes it as suitable for other small pets as well. It mixes with aspen or paper bedding, so it can go into a cage that already uses either of those loose beddings. A bag weighs 170 g (5.9 oz), and the packed item measures 25.4 x 12.7 x 25.4 cm (10 x 5 x 10 in).
