The AB Tools Natural Coarse Beech Chips are an ideal bedding and floor covering solution for bird and parrot owners seeking a hygienic, dust-free environment for their pets. Sourced from sustainably managed European beech forests, these untreated hardwood chips provide a safe, stable, and comfortable surface for avians. While these chips excel at maintaining cage cleanliness and providing a natural aesthetic, users should note that as a larger-grain bedding, they are best suited for solid-floor enclosures rather than wire-mesh trays.

Yes, these are made from 100% untreated natural beechwood, which is non-toxic for birds.
This pack includes 4 bags, each containing 6 litres of chips.
While designed for birds, the natural, dust-free properties make them a potential bedding option for certain reptiles, though you should check specific species requirements first.
Because it is natural, untreated wood, it is generally biodegradable and can be composted, provided it has not been heavily soiled with non-organic waste.
We recommend a full change every 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the volume of waste produced by your pet.
Ensure the cage tray is thoroughly dried after washing and consider increasing the frequency of spot cleaning to remove waste more quickly.
If your cage has a wire base, place a solid piece of cardboard or a tray liner underneath the wire to prevent the chips from falling through.
To set up your cage, ensure the floor tray is completely dry before pouring the chips to prevent premature moisture absorption. Spread the chips to a depth of 1 to 3 centimeters depending on the size of your bird. Compatibility is highest with solid-base cages or aviaries. For care, perform spot cleaning by removing soiled areas daily with a small scoop. Replace the entire bedding contents every 2 to 4 weeks depending on the number of birds and the size of the enclosure. Always inspect the cage tray for moisture buildup under the bedding during routine cleans to maintain optimal cage hygiene.
