What is the scent of the "Natural" bedding? I just want to make Does it give any indication of what material it is made of?

There wouldn't be any artificial scents to mask odors, but it smells like paper. Even so, after a few days we really didn't detect any bad odors from the bedding when we had two guinea pigs.

In what amount of time will the smell be controlled?

Selected User Reviews For Kaytee Clean & Cozy Natural Small Animal Bedding

Kaytee Clean and Cozy Natural Small Animal Bedding has both advantages and disadvantages
4/5

To help you make an informed decision, I have compiled both the pros and cons of this bedding. Please enjoy the images of my cage with the bedding, and another type of bedding. (I mention it in the review) I have also included images of the cage with my old bedding. The pros of

Then continue ****- Hamsters benefit from this bedding the most because it is the safest option available. Since their lungs are so small, the use of pine, or cedar shavings (and other bedding) can be hazardous to their health. There is nothing about this bed that appeals to me in terms of color or scent. I like it because it's There are multiple different quantities available for these bedding products, and the prices will vary. Even so, the bedding is very affordable for the high quality. Subscribe and save is a great service that I use regularly. Then continue ****- As far as bedding is concerned, it works fine. Unlike cats, hamsters poop, pee, and make a mess. For that reason, it is important to use a bedding that's absorbent, not stinky, and easy to wash. Kaytee Aspen is how I choose to write. There is not a complete blocking of all the Oder from the pee, but it helps. The cage of my hamsters is spot cleaned frequently so it isn't a big deal. Usually when I perform a full cage clean, I find it pretty easy to clean it up afterwards. You can easily pick it up, plop it into a garbage bag, and toss it. It is not dusty, and it is not fine. Once the dust and bits are gone, I usually use a dustpan and brush to polish up any additional dust. Then continue ****- I like how easy it is to use this bedding. Let's say I just told you about cleaning, then how about setting it up again? It is also very easy to do. I pull out a big chunk of it and it’s like a brick when I pull it out of the bag. I'll keep it short. (‘Tis not that hard. All of it is tightly packed together), so you simply need to break it apart in your hands with your fingers. Then continue ****- There is so much fluffy stuff here! There is a lot of fluffy and softness to this bedding. There is no better bedding than this one, whether you have a litter of hamsters or need a soft and fluffy one for yourself. It can be hard to keep the fur on my long haired Syrian hamster clean. This bedding has turned out to be extremely helpful in preventing You don't have to worry about it getting tangled. I have never introduced a new baby hamster to the house before, so I do not know what to expect. It seems to be a good idea, right? The cons are Then continue ****- It is a soft and fluffy bedding, but for things that are heavy, I recommend an aspen bedding. In the past, I used only this bedding, but it was not suitable for use under my hamster wheel, or on Because of this, I now use aspen bedding in some parts of the cage and this bedding in The underside of my wheel is made of aspen, and the hides are thicker. Then continue ****- Burrowing is a great activity for your hamster if it likes to burrow. Nevertheless, the bars on my cage are now a little glass and he tends to kick many of the bedding away. There's a lot of mess made by the cables as they slip through the bars. Having to vacuum a lot is not unusual for me. Then continue ****- It is possible for this bedding to contain mites, so be cautious! The food we eat, as well as our bedding, may contain mites or bugs. This is why I recommend letting it cool in the freezer for two days before using it. As a result, nothing will live in this bedding. (Well, your little friend will be alive, but not those bad insects. ) All in all, this bedding is a brilliant addition to Although the Kaytee Aspen bedding is a wonderful choice as well, I definitely recommend it. The two are very different, but they both have their own strengths. Buying this bedding right now is your best bet if you want it but aren't sure what to do! There is no waste of your money.

I don't like this bedding as much as It's not as soft as the white bedding, although I do like it
4/5

The white bedding can be hit or miss on softness, so it's possible that the white bedding could be the same. I got this bag similar to when I get a bag of that white stuff that was "rough. ". In any event, the white bedding was not available in larger sizes, which led me to try this instead. It is probably safer than the white bedding, since it is not bleached. But I'm not worried because my hamster seems to enjoy it. Using the cage is easy and cleaning it is easy as well. haven't decided whether I will purchase this type of ostrich again or go back to the white. Availability and price will most likely determine whether it is worthwhile. The performance of these devices, for the most part, is interchangeable. As of now, I would say it is a little less soft than the white.

Bunny litter that I have found to be the best
5/5

When I was a kid, I used to buy this product at big-name pet shops. It's great that I found it on Amazon at a lower price. There is no better stuff out there and it lasts a lifetime. The half of one bag I purchased last December still remained after I bought two bags. As well as being less messy than other litter, it also absorbs odors and liquids well and is of Subscribe and save was a good idea, but because the subscriptions lasted so long, I changed the frequency. I like it when it's clean too so I let my kitten lounge in it.

This product gets ZERO stars for the ability to absorb and control odor
3/5

I will never buy this product again since it was such a disappointment. It is more absorbent to use a party streamer instead of I have been purchasing Carefresh bedding for the last couple of years. It works extremely well but is very dusty despite its claim of 99% dust-free. I have been looking for alternative bedding options for my dwarf hamster since it has been experiencing dust problems. Based on the reviews I read about several brands and the fact there are no perfect beddings, I decided to give this one a try. OH MY GOD! What a mistake that was. I had to clean the cage out after just TWO days because it smelled so bad. There is a huge problem with odor control with this product! As much as my dwarf hamster loves to burrow under his bedding, the bedding is so thin and non-absorbent that when it gets near his water bottle it gets soaked wet, and tiny pieces get stuck in the metal ball bearing that has been installed Paper bedding has never caused leaks of this kind, something which never happens with other types. It was a daily accident that the bedding around the water bottle would become sopping wet every single day that it had to be replaced. The product is less dusty than Carefresh pet bedding, but don't get suckered by the fact that it is virtually nonabsorbent and that it has no odor-control. It is because of this factor that I will not recommend this product.

Purchased this product once and will not purchase again
3/5

Our Guinea pigs were using paper bedding, which was quite expensive, so I ordered this product in hopes of finding a less expensive alternative. It immediately stood out to me as different than anything I'd seen before- The paper seemed thinner, there were pieces that appeared smaller (though technically they may not have been smaller), and it was a lot messier. The first thing that came to mind was that it probably wouldn't did never get a chance to check for those aspects of the product, however, because the guinea pigs consumed it very quickly, which they did not do with our regular brand. I did not want to risk leaving it in the cage and must immediately discard it. There was too much risk of an emergency visit to the vet to justify the lower cost. Despite the positive reviews, I will never purchase this product again due to the negative experience I had with my dog.

Bedding that delivers the most value for your money
5/5

Mice have very sensitive respiratory systems, so we own seven of them. This paper bedding is ideal for people who do not like perfume or too much dust in their bed. In addition, it has a very good ability to absorb odor. It is loved by mice and is used for burrowing and nesting. This is an easy product to clean. I clean two tanks out once a week with the large bag we have and it lasts us very long. Sometimes it is fun to buy the other colors as well, but the neutral brown color and the extra large size really make this the best value. This is superior to using cheaper wood bedding that could be toxic for.
