Great bedding for hamsters and really small animals but found it to be messy for my guinea pig. I had to change it almost every other day to keep it fresh cause he pees and poops a lot. Carefresh Ultra is a top-quality bedding that contains no pine or cedar oils. It’s clean, soft and almost completely dust-free. The best thing about CareFresh is their superior odour control. This material will last longer than most other hamster beddings thanks to its absorbing ability. Sawdust generally isn’t a good idea for your hamster. This is because sawdust is very fine and can often be incredibly dusty. This dust is the main problem, it can cause skin allergies and breathing issues for your pet. You may be able to find a sawdust brand that is dust-free and has no negative impacts on your dwarf hamster’s health but I haven’t come across one yet.

Super Absorbent Carefresh absorbs over three times its weight in liquids. The super absorbency of Carefresh keeps pets and their living area dry and clean. What's more, it doesn't fall apart when wet! Wheeking, chutting, and rumbling, oh my! These are just some of the noises that the most vocal of rodents, the guinea pig, use to communicate with each other, and you! This is a very quiet noise that a content guinea pig may make. It is usually associated when you have a piggy super relaxed in your lap with a very gentle rubbing of teeth. Sometimes a light pet on their jaw when relaxed will bring this action and sound. But beware, teeth rubbing/grinding can also be a very bad noise- more on that later. We do not recommend using pine or cedar shavings as these materials can be abrasive and splinter into sharp pieces.Our Barnabys product range is shipped via a third party and is usually handled by DPD on a free next day service, again this cannot be guaranteed and can take a few days to be processed.

This is generally neither a good nor bad noise. For the most part, rumbling refers to “rumble strutting”. Rumble strutting is used when a guinea pig is courting another or, when between two or more males, is used to determine and define a hierarchy. Even if an “alpha male” has already been determined, the behavior can sometimes reoccur to make sure no one forgot what their role is. Among guinea pigs that are already bonded, this is a perfectly natural behavior and sound that may occasionally occur, whether courting or determining who’s in charge. However, this behavior is most likely to occur during bonding and generally not an issue unless a small “fight” breaks out and then only if blood is drawn. Rumble strutting is usually accompanied by a “butt wiggle” and a warning sound as well as teeth chattering (explained later). Guinea pigs have an amazing sense of smell. Since their eyesight isn't good at detecting predators in the wild, their sense of smell, along with hearing, helps make up for those deficiencies. So the answer to the question concerning if they can recognize you specifically, yes they can! You may see an example of this when you have a visitor over and they approach the guinea pig’s habitat to say ”hi”, the piggy most likely takes off and hides, but they won't do that with you. They know who you are by your smell and know that there is no threat to them and recognize you as a friend! And Environmentally Friendly Too! Carefresh is independently certified to be environmentally friendly. It's made from wood pulp that can't be made into paper, and so would normally be buried in a landfill. Carefresh is the ideal bedding for all small animals and is made from high quality virgin wood pulp. As a bedding for hamsters and other small rodents it's excellent, 100 better than woodchips so as beddings go I would give it top marks for absorbancy, keeping smells in, easy to use as long as you have it contained.
