Small Pet Select Aspen Shavings Bedding Natural Aspen Small Animal Bedding, 41 L pack

This 41 L pack of small animal bedding holds 2.27 kg (5 lb) of 100% heat-dried aspen shavings. The natural wood shavings are made in the USA from material taken directly off the tree, with no dyes, chemicals or additives. Rabbits, guinea pigs, gerbils, hamsters, chinchillas, rats, mice, snakes and reptiles are all listed as suitable animals.

How the aspen shavings go into the habitat

The shavings are spread as a layer inside the pet's habitat. Used bedding comes out and fresh shavings go in as needed, and damp or soiled patches are lifted between full changes.

A full change is due every one to two days. Between changes the layer can be fluffed so the animal is not standing on a large damp patch. Keep the pack itself in a dry place.

What the aspen bedding offers in the cage

• The shavings are fluffy and highly absorbent, and the dust level is described as very low.
• Odour control comes without added artificial scents.
• Because the shavings break down easily, used bedding can go to the garden, a compost pile or an organic waste bin.
• The 41 L pack weighs 2.27 kg (5 lb) and its box measures 41.9 x 36.8 x 20.3 cm.

Does this bedding suit your animal and setup?

Check the animal against the list first: rabbits, guinea pigs, gerbils, hamsters, chinchillas, rats, mice, snakes, reptiles and other small animals are named as suitable, while dogs are given as the target audience on the pack. Damp bedding can cause urine scald, so plan on lifting wet patches and changing the layer every one to two days rather than leaving it in place.

Measure the habitat floor before opening the pack; at 41 L and 2.27 kg, one pack covers a single setup and leaves nothing spare for a second cage. If the habitat is kept indoors, the shavings match that setting.
