Important information
Directions
At least once per week, remove all bedding and wash the enclosure with a mild soap solution. Rinse habitat thoroughly with clean water to ensure the removal of soap residue. Frequency of habitat cleaning depends on the size of your pet’s home and number of animals. Always replace bedding with fresh product. Maintaining a clean habitat will help your pet from developing respiratory problems due to ammonia build up in the habitat caused by urine.

Packaging and Arrival
This bedding (8.0 cubic inches) came in a pretty big box and was wrapped with a thick plastic. There was a hole about an inch in diameter, but the bedding did not fall out; however, I will say that since it was in a box, it wouldn't have been a big deal if a little had fallen out. So, A+ for packaging!
Texture
The texture of this bedding is very fine, although there were some bigger chunks - no biggie, I just picked them out as they weren't hard to find. There may be sharp pieces, but seriously this is not an issue as most wood-based beddings will have this. Plus, I was able to grab a handful and squeeze without slicing my hand, so yes - nicely shaved.
Odor
This bedding has virtually no odor, just a slight wood scent but nothing major. It actually smells nicer than those scented beddings! As far as odor control for the animal, I cannot say this yet since I just received and added it to the hamster tank today - but I will update after the first cleaning!
Hamster Approval?
My Winter White dwarf hamster went absolutely NUTS when I placed her back inside. She started digging like crazy through every inch of that tank and she immediately started making her sleeping area. The fact that this bedding is wood shavings and not a paper-based bedding does not seem to matter. I do add a little Kaytee Clean and Cozy to the mix though, to give her extra softness for her to sleep in.
Overall, this bedding so far has exceeded my expectations! I usually get Carefresh for the main areas of the tank and for $50 or more, you get 1/4 of the amount of bedding compared to this Kaytee Aspen bedding. Just amazing.
In conclusion, if you are thinking of getting a safe, wood-based alternative - I would recommend this bedding because it truly is an excellent amount for such a small price!
So, I put this in on top of the bed wetting pads, and oh my.. what a world of difference! No smell, other than the smell of wood, and the babies are clean and happy. I haven't had a "pasty butt" incident sense. I can also go a couple days before I need to clean out the box, versus every morning or even twice a day sometimes. I just sprinkle a light layer of shavings on top every day to be sure everything's absorbed, and I can go upwards of a week (and even then, it doesn't stink or anything.. I just feel obligated to change it).
The wood itself is pretty good. Most of it really is "shavings". A few chunks of wood were in there, but they seem pretty rare. However, it seems a little bark is in this mix, as you'll get some dark or black edges shavings in the mix. Doesn't bother me in the least.
The dust so far has been 0. But, it will take me a long time to get to the bottom of the bag to really see. But I cant see any visibly.
And this IS in a bag. As in, plastic. It doesn't have any logos or anything on it, besides some product sticker that must be used in a factory. It tells you nothing about the product.
But, it is pretty good wood, my baby chicks like it and have had no issues. No sneezing, no discomfort. And 99% of the pieces are too large for them to eat (which they did try a couple times).
So.. if you're raising baby chicks in your bathroom like I am, I'd highly recommend this. Happy chicks that nestle in the wood, very absorbent wood that removes the smell, and everything stays cleaner.
One con, however, is that sometimes the absorbency of the wood is a little too much when it gets into their waterer. I have raised it up on blocks, but when they kick the stuff, it just happens. better than poop contamination, but you'll be taking care of their waterer just as much, if not more. Silly birds.
*Kiln dried.
*Guinea pigs tolerated it well.
*Easier than paper bedding to spread and clean up.
*lasts forever (5 months for us)
Cons:
*hard to store bc it's so giant
*bag it's packed in is heavy duty but still punctured easy.
*shavings will be on your floor if you have messy animals or a kid who trashes the animals out a lot.
I bought this package in March of 2018 it's lasted till August 1st and I have one more cage changing left. So I change my cage every week. And my cage is the size of a 2 x 3 C&C cage x 2. Each C&C Square is 14 in by 14 in so you can do the math if you need to.
I love this bedding because it is much more affordable than the recycled paper bedding. It has a nice smell that's not too strong it does not irritate the guinea pigs. It doesn't have baking soda like the paper bedding so it doesn't have an "odor shield". My guinea pigs like it better than the paper bedding because I can put the pine down and put various amounts of shredded paper on top of that and they can play in the shredded paper or stomp it down so they can lay down in an area. It's been much more economical for my family we have two guinea pigs in two separate cages so it takes a lots of bedding to keep them happy. And yes this is kiln-dried Pine so that it has less of the pine odor than the equine shavings.
