• "This bedding seems to absorb smells a lot better than other brands."
• "It also eliminates the odors."
• "We like this brand because it does not get stinky quickly."

Cons:

• "Over the last few months this product smells like manure."

• "The amount of dust was triggering my allergies and my partner's asthma."
• "I really cannot stand the smell of this product. It has such a strong, chemical type of smell."
• "Smell is really really really bad! Smells like when you go to the gym and you smell people’s sweat + armpits combo 2 machines away from you that strong!"
• "The clean shavings straight out of the bag really stink like garbage."
• "The bedding itself smelled this bad! It was super dry and not soft like previous bags."

Texture and Quality

Pros:

• "The bedding is consistently high-quality, and it holds my hamster's burrows well."
• "Love that the bedding is soft, controls odor better than other brands we have tried and doesn't seem to have a bunch of loose fibers."
• "It is soft, absorbent, and nice and thick for him to burrow through."
• "This package has soft material and is quite large."
• "It is extremely absorbent. And it doesn't stick to everything."

• "The bedding cleans up easily, nothing sticks to the cage or trays."

Cons:

• "Not safe for small animals."
• "Sometimes it's harder and darker in color."
• "It's not water absorbent at all. The bedding just gets soggy."
• "This is NOT soft like other brands I've purchased."
• "Sometimes this bedding is the right light natural color shown and then other times it’s dark and leaves behind dust."
• "This bedding was so dusty it gave my mice a respiratory infection."
• "DO NOT USE THIS FOR SMALL RODENTS. It made my gerbil really sick!"

Safety and Health

Pros:

• "I know it's chemical-free because their previous bedding material caused their fur to fall out in patches and inflame their skin."
• "Carefresh is a terrific company...they immediately apologized and sent me coupons for free replacements when I reported it."
• "It isn’t dusty and absorbs pretty well."
