carefresh – Comfort Starts With the Right Bedding

Bedding does more than cover the bottom of a habitat. It helps create a soft, dry place to rest and gives many small animals material for nesting and burrowing. Choosing bedding with comfort, absorbency and low dust in mind can make a big difference in the habitat.

Why Paper Bedding?

  • Paper bedding can be warmer, drier and more comfortable than traditional shavings.
  • Absorbency helps with moisture and routine habitat cleanup.
  • Soft paper fiber is useful for nesting and burrowing behaviors.

How Much Bedding?

  • A general guideline is about 2–6 inches depending on the species.
  • Smaller pets may benefit from varying depths of bedding.
  • Hamsters and gerbils especially benefit from enough material to tunnel and hide.

How Often Should It Be Cleaned?

  • Spot clean the habitat as needed.
  • A complete bedding change about once a week is a useful general guideline.
  • Cleaning frequency can vary based on habitat size and the type of small pet.

What Sets carefresh Apart?

  • Made from paper fiber created specifically for small pets.
  • Designed to be soft, absorbent and low dust.
  • Made without harmful inks, dyes or scents.

For Hamsters & Gerbils

  • Texture helps support tunneling and hiding.
  • Creates a warm, dry place for sleeping and nesting.
  • Low-dust bedding can be gentler around tiny noses and lungs.

For Rabbits & Guinea Pigs

  • Soft bedding can be comfortable on sensitive feet.
  • Absorbency helps keep the habitat drier.
  • Rabbit litter and bedding can also support litter-box routines where appropriate.

Hay & Chews – Small Essentials, Big Benefits

Hay and chews support more than one part of small-pet care. For rabbits, guinea pigs and chinchillas, quality grass hay supplies important fiber and supports natural tooth wear. Safe, species-appropriate chews and enrichment encourage behaviors small pets are naturally designed to do.

Rabbits

  • Grass hay should be available every day.
  • Hay should make up the majority of an adult rabbit's diet.
  • Frequent chewing helps support natural tooth wear.

Guinea Pigs

  • Unlimited grass hay provides essential fiber.
  • Hay supports healthy digestion.
  • Regular chewing also helps support healthy teeth.

Chinchillas

  • High-quality hay provides essential fiber.
  • Supports ongoing dental wear.
  • Helps support digestive health as part of the daily diet.

Why Chews Matter

  • Encourage natural chewing behaviors.
  • Provide enrichment and mental stimulation.
  • Give pets appropriate outlets for exploring and chewing.

Make the Habitat More Engaging

  • Offer appropriate wood chews, grass-based toys and woven materials.
  • Safe sticks and forage toys can encourage natural exploration.
  • Rotate enrichment options to help keep the habitat interesting.

Think Hay + Chews

  • Hay: nutrition plus natural chewing.
  • Chews: enrichment plus activity.
  • Together they support everyday behaviors that help small pets thrive.
