SMALL PET SELECT Unbleached White Paper Bedding, 178 L (JMWB)

I originally used to use Kaytee soft and cosy but switched to this because I saw the large 178ltr bag advertised for far less than I was paying. When it arrived I was immediately struck by the fact that it is completely dust free. The Kaytee advertised as 99% free but was always dusty and making my Guinea pigs cough and sneeze. This Small pet select has no dust whatsoever and although it isn’t as cotton like as the previous brand I used it has much more loft. It stays fluffy for longer and so actually pans out to be much softer and kinder to my piggies than I thought it would at first. It also seems to be very absorbent and odour controlling. My pair of Guinea pigs love this. As soon as it goes in they are straight onto it and stretching out and bury themselves into a pile of it and fall asleep. I can often feel the warmth that the small pet select bedding has built up underneath them when they get up! I love the value for money and the lack of dust it’s a huge bonus especially when one of the piggies tends to sneeze a lot with dustier options. Having a paper bedding thats unbleached means they are ok to eat it if they choose to and I don’t have to worry about the bedding being white. I know this bedding comes in several different colours and styles but I use white. It also means that they enjoy their time sleeping and rubbing their bellies in the bedding. It’s got great odour control so having indoor Guinea pigs means you don’t end up smelling anything and mess is kept to a minimum. It’s so easy to clean up, you just brush it right out and usually nothing has made it to the base of the hutch because the bedding absorbs it all. Best of all the 178 litre bag can be stored in the room with your Guinea pigs as there is zero dust coming from the bag and you don’t have to use a hoover to clean up the dusty after effects of changing the bedding. A whole bag will last for a good while, I like to put about a 1 inch layer of bedding in the hutch which isn’t very much given how much loft this has. It spreads out so well as it doesn’t clump together and it really does come out as finely separated cuts of cotton/paper like bedding. It isn’t hard or compressed into lumps. And then between the 2 piggies I clean out the hutch every other day or two. It really depends on them, but the bedding is never the reason I need to change the hutch. Usually with other brands it’s the bedding beginning to lack in the odour control or absorbency areas that cause clean outs. It’s lovely to know that if things smell good to me then they smell good to my Guinea pigs. Best of all this ships out usually next day and there are always little things like leaflets with discounts or promotions on. The company even leaves smiles and thank you’s on the box! Overall I’m really happy with this product and I think anyone who switches from something else will be pleased with it too. Anything that makes my pigs happy and is good value for money is always a win, and I’m sure that switching has made both the Guinea pigs healthier. They don’t sneeze anymore and they both seem to enjoy more time laying down and snuggling. If it was out of ten they would get 10/10

This bedding is much nicer than the combined litter/bedding pellets we used to use. It's soft, fluffy and is easy for the rats to pick up and pull apart, but doesn't fall apart by itself or become dusty. It doesn't have much of a smell and manages to be pretty much odourless even towards the end of the week which is awesome. It's also easier to spot poops and stains with the white colour which helps daily cleanups. Most importantly, the rats seem to love it. They look far more comfy snuggling into this soft bedding and they seem to really love tossing it around and building actual functional tunnels, something they struggled to do with heavier and more compact bedding pellets. They are definately more interactive with this new bedding and seem to be enjoying themselves so I'm happy. Also the bag was very nicely compressed. I got the biggest bag because of the better pricing and was worried it might be hard to store but it's packed so tightly and is not much bigger than a big bag of cat litter. Very happy with the purchase.

I highly recommend this paper. It’s fluffy but still chunky enough to hold a burrow, it isn’t prone to dust up the way paper pulp bedding tends to and it smells very mild even for paper bedding. It also came earlier than delivery times stated. My baby also rates it-as shown

I like this bedding, it’s good for the price, the batch I did get though was a bit strange, I found blue bits all through out the bedding and i had to pick them out as i had no idea what they were, the bedding also has a yellow undertone to it ( I don’t know if it was just my batch aha) (I use kaytee clean and cosy as well but not for these last couple of months and you can tell the colour difference) so a tiny bit difficult when trying to spot clean and you can’t smell the pee etc, but to be honest, the amount you get in the bag, for the price as well is great and it’s really soft, would probably buy again:)

I was using Kaytee clean & cozy for the past year of owning hamsters but everytime i bought it , it was getting dustier each time. i was recommended this bedding so thought id give it a try. The bag is massive which is good as i have 3 hamster cages so it will last me a long time. It's not dusty which was my main concern, it's soft & holds burrows really well, only problem i found is that it has blue rubber in it but its easy to pick them out ☺️ would deffo buy again.

I got this bedding to use with my hamsters as my normal bedding (carefresh) has been out of stock for a while and I’m so glad I did as it’s so much better and will be the bedding I use from now on. I got the 178l and it comes in at about the same price as 120l of carefresh. Both state that the amount they say is in the bag is when it’s out of the packaging and isn’t compacted down, however in order to hold tunnels you do need the bedding to stay as compacted as possible in the enclosure so I don’t pay much attention to those numbers. What I do know is it normally takes 120l of carefresh to fill my enclosure, but with this bedding I had around a quarter left over, so it works out better value for money! It’s also extremely soft and feels like it would be much more comfy for my hamster than my old bedding. She has so far gotten on really well with it. She has burrowed down in it and it doesn’t seem to have any issues holding her burrows. It’s also still smells fresh after a few weeks which is a good sign as we try to do big bedding changes as little often as possible. Overall I think this is a fantastic bedding and though not the cheapest out there is does to be better quality than the likes of Fitch or teabag bedding AND is better value for money in regards to how much you get than carefresh and personally I think it’s better quality than carefresh as well. I’d most definitely recommend it.

Bedding a bit dusty…

Great for my hamster.

I tried every bedding I could find. The paper pellets have sharp edges and all the other paper beddings are incredibly dusty. This one is dusty too, but acceptable in comparison. My winter white is safe with it.

Mi spiace dirlo ma c fossero 0 stelle ne avrei messe 0. Il materiale non è CARTA, ma lo stesso materiale delle salviette umide sminuzzato, alcuni pezzi più grandi altri più piccoli, misto a cotone, misto a materiale che sembra nastro adesivo senza la parte della colla. Mi sono messa a scartare i pezzi non idonei ottenendo meno di 1/10 del prodotto idoneo (in 45 minuti ho ottenuto un pugnetto di materiale - quindi anche se si vuol risparmiare rispetto a prodotti più costosi, alla fine si butta via la maggior parte del pacco), nonostante ciò, 12 ore dopo ho cambiato questa lettiera (dato che il Criceto ci dorme lo cambio ogni giorno in quel punto) e la lettiera era bagnata. Mai avuto problemi con CareFresh, sempre asciutta anche per 72h. Bocciata per la sicurezza dell’animale e per la sua funzione assorbente.

This product is a bad value for money. Paper quality is poor and feel clumped. Also price has doubled in 6 months. Cheeky sellers

Pros: 1. High value for your money (paid approx 56 CAD for 178L) 2. Good absorbency 3. Very fluffy almost like shredded tissue paper 4. Relatively low dust (best part is it doesn't trigger my dust mite and pine/aspen wood allergies) Cons:1. Although absorbent, the bedding doesn't do a very good job of keeping animal smell down (2.)resulting in more frequent spot cleaning than some leading brands of bedding. (However it's almost the comparable to brands like Kaytee and Carefree [the regular, no baking soda one] where I have to clean the cage at a similar rate.) Overall in my opinion, if you're looking for a bedding that combats animal smell, it would be better to opt for either corncob or paper bedding with baking soda in it (you can always mix it with this to help cut down costs so you don't have to only spend on the more expensive stuff). Otherwise this bedding does it's job on it's own, it absorbs animal waste product like shredded tissues and has the best value for it's dollar. It also doesn't trigger basic allergies towards dust mites and wood pollen.
