> 3 dayWe have had many small animals in our household over the years, and we always used CareFresh. When we got our first hamster (a female), she did great on that product. However, our second hamster (a male) came down with a breathing issue. After several visits to the vet and several rounds of antibiotics, our vet said he likely had a tumor in his nasal passage. Sadly, he continued to decline, and we finally had to put him down because he was slowly suffocating to death. It was awful. Then we purchased out third hamster (also a male), and about four months into having him, HE started coming down with breathing issues. My daughter was devastated. He began to decline at a fairly rapid rate, and I decided I wasnt buying the tumor idea any longer. Too coincidental. So I started doing some research. Well, I discovered there are some substances hamsters can be allergic to, and one of them was CareFresh (timothy hay too - first ingredient in that high-quality hamster food that starts with Ox - so that went into the trash too!). Carefresh is too dusty for them, and it gets into their nasal passages. Hamster owners said that Kaytee Clean and Cozy was the least dusty product on the market, so we immediately ran to the pet store and purchased some. Well, over the next couple of weeks, our precious little guy slowly got better. He went on to live out his full hamster life :) Our fourth hamster (male) is doing fantastic on this bedding and is currently 2.5 years old. Like I said, CareFresh seemed to work well for our other critters (birds, guinea pigs, reptiles), but not for the hamsters. PLEASE consider using this bedding. I just wonder how many hamsters have died with breathing issues when it may have been a simple change in bedding. As a side note in case youre interested, during my research to replace the high quality food that went into the trash, I found that the preferred food with hamster people in the UK is Tiny Friends Hazel Hamster. Ours have done really well on that, along with their daily fresh food :) If my post helps in saving even one hamster from dying due to breathing issues, I will be happy :) Thank you for reading.

> 3 dayI prefer this one since the white Carefresh complete is a bleached product. I generally skip Kaytee products since so many are not good or safe for guinea pigs but this is the ONLY worthwhile product.

> 3 dayThis really does fight odor in my bunnys cage. It comes tightly packed in a brick package. Break off what you need and break it up, which means this package will last a while. It doesnt take much as you will see once you start to break it up. My bunny will get into the fresh bedding and throw it around. I really like that it really does control the odor. All I do is scoop it out every few days and replace with fresh bedding. I have bought this product more than once and from the same seller. I will continue to buy this product.

Greater than one weekWe just started using this and have found we arent cleaning the cage as often as we normally do. Super absorbant!
