Chinchillas

Requirements:

Not too dusty

Extra Details:

I have a chinchilla who tends to sneeze whenever I use cheap, dusty bedding. He even sneezes after a dust bath if I use low-quality dust. I'm currently using a fleece liner for him, but I'm looking for some quality, low-dust small animal bedding, so I can place a potty pan in the corner, where he loves to urinate.

There are many small animal bedding options available, but the Carefresh Complete Bedding is known to be the best in the market. Many reviewers I read spoke highly of this bedding, and they weren’t lying.


First, the absorbency. Compared to other kinds of bedding like chipped wood or newspaper, the Carefresh Complete absorbs urine incredibly well. The habitat doesn’t become soggy or puddle-y because the bedding absorbs liquid and still provides ample cushion.


Carefresh promotes its bedding controls odor for up to 10 days. It keeps the foul odor away for much longer than other types of bedding I’ve used. I’ve never liked wood shavings, and I’ve been using Petco’s pelleted paper bedding for years. In terms of odor control, I find the Complete Bedding to be much superior to the Petco brand.


The bedding expands considerably and it is so soft. It is one of the reasons I’ve switched to the Complete Bedding from the pelleted bedding. It is much softer to the touch and provides effective insulation to keep the animals warm.


The dust-free formula is great for small animals’ respiratory health. There are some types of wood shavings that trigger allergies, and this paper bedding that is also 99% dust-free keeps the allergens at bay.


I always buy the Natural, not the colored kind because when it comes to animals, staying away from the colored dye is the best. The non-dyed variety is cheaper than the colored ones, as well.
