A clean, cozy habitat is essential for small pets like hamsters, gerbils, mice, hedgehogs, and guinea pigs. These tiny animals spend most of their time here, so it should be a comfortable place to do all the things they love and would do in the wild. Putting down a thick layer of premium small pet bedding gives your pets a place to hide, burrow, nest, play, tunnel through, and sleep. Now, your little friend also uses his bedding as a litter box, so you want to be sure you've lined his cage with the right stuff—for your sake and his.
Whether searching for guinea pig bedding, hamster bedding, or rabbit bedding on The Pets Club, you'll find it all in the same convenient spot—under small pet bedding. All these creatures have the exact need for cage liners so that the same bedding can be used for multiple small animals—from chinchillas to ferrets to rabbits. Small pet bedding is made from several different natural materials, including reclaimed paper fiber, wood shavings, corn cob, clay, reclaimed wood fiber, and recycled paper. Try out several kinds to see which your little pal seems to like and which suits your needs. Some things to look for when picking out small pet bedding are superior odor control, safety, low dust, high absorbency, and overall fluffiness for comfort.
CareFresh Complete uses natural reclaimed paper fiber that expands up to twice its volume and gives ten days of odor control with a proprietary Odor Stop formula. This renewable resource is biodegradable and compostable, and it's three times more absorbent than wood shavings for a dry, healthy environment. CareFresh also makes Custom Guinea Pig & Rabbit bedding with larger pieces for nesting and Custom Hamster & Gerbil bedding with smaller pieces for burrowing.
Some small pets, such as hamsters, gerbils, rabbits, and ferrets, can be potty trained to use a specific corner of their habitat. You can set up a litter pan for your furry friend after watching to see where he usually tends to go. Padovan Litter is a special litter made just for ferrets, who require even more odor control with their frequent potty schedules. Made with 100% recycled paper, it's both flushable and biodegradable. Oxbow Bene Terra Eco-Straw is a natural wheat straw litter that can be used with just about any pet, including rabbits, ferrets, geckos, guinea pigs, rats, chinchillas, and even cats.
At The Pets Club, you can choose from many small pet bedding and litter options that keep your critter's environment dry, healthy, and free from unpleasant smells. Then, add it to your Autoship so your pet's home stays nice and fresh.
The best thing to put on the bottom of a small pet cage is usually little animal bedding explicitly made for that purpose. Most experts recommend fluffy paper fiber bedding or soft aspen wood shavings, but other bedding products are also safe for small animals. Look for low-dust bedding that is odorless and nontoxic for your pet.
The difference between small animal bedding and litter is that you put small animal litter in a litter box for elimination and bedding at the bottom of the cage for resting, digging, and playing. If you do not have a litter box for your small pet, your pet's bedding will serve the same function as litter, catching waste and absorbing moisture and odor. The best substrates for small pet bedding work well in a litter box.
Small animals need bedding and litter for burrowing, nesting, resting, eliminating, and playing. Choose a small, low-dust animal bedding that is soft and absorbent, and change it regularly for comfort and good hygiene. The Pets Club has an excellent selection of small animal litter and bedding options to suit various needs.
