Carefresh Natural Small Animal Bedding, 60-L

Why would I buy this for my pet from CT instead of a petstore? For whatever reason CT sells this cheaper and always has it in stock unlike the Petsmart beside my building. Often the bags of food and litter at Petsmart are dirty and they keep them in the back corner in one tiny part of their store which they like to block off with boxes making in inaccessible. Why would I buy from a store that doesn't care about my pet? I doubt CT cares about my pet or me either but it's cheaper, always in stock, and I don't have a problem accessing it. Thank you for carrying this product and giving me an alternative to pet stores which are a scam and promote animal abuse.

Carefresh advertises as virtually dust and allergen free, this is misleading. If you have ever bought carefresh and noticed lots of particles, that is because their dust-free claim does not include all particles like lint. When dust becomes airborne it poses a risk to rodents as they have sensitive respiratory systems, and overtime exposure can lead to serious health problems. Lint is less likely to become airborne than dust due to particle size, but it can still easily become airborne and inhaled by small animals and lead to similar respiratory issues as dust. Although lint usually settles on the sides if you think hamsters/gerbils will be constantly digging throwing these particles back up into the air. My hamster was constantly sneezing when she came out of her burrows and eventually developed a respiratory infection and was on antibiotics, they are not completely transparent about the cleanliness of the environment their bedding provides. Therefore I’m writing this review to hopefully be transparent where the company cannot. I’m speaking as someone who has purchased this bedding over 7 months, I have an idea of the general quality.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The bedding is always the highest of quality and so comfy for our critters.

My hamster, who does not like to be disturbed, especially likes this Carefresh product. The bedding stays fresh for a long time between cleanings. You can hand pick out the wet spots easily. The price is very good for the amount that you receive.
