Critter Care Bedding For Small Animals

I bought this for my gerbils tank when I first bought him and the tank home. I am now using it for both of my gerbils. I love using the blue variety even though it's more expensive as I love the way it looks. I mix it with aspen. When using it on its own, it doesn't hold burrows well and gerbils love making burrows. So, mixing it with aspen helps it hold burrows better. It's less dusty than some of the other beddings on the market. It's softer than aspen, but not as soft as most other paper based beddings (like Carefresh). My biggest complaint is that both times I've filled my hamster and my gerbils tanks, I got a bad headache. I'm wondering if it's causing an allergic reaction. That said, it doesn't seem to be causing one for my rodents at all. I might just stick to aspen, though, if this headache trend continues.

Pros: Comes in colors, soft, no smell, not too dusty

Cons: doesn't hold burrows, pricier than aspen

This bedding works great. It smells a lot better than pine bedding. It works great at absorbing and you get a lot in a package.

Pros: good

Cons: none
