FAQs

How much bedding should I use?

The amount of bedding depends on the size of your pet's habitat and the type of pet. Generally, aim for 1-3 inches of depth.

How often should I change the bedding?

Is this bedding safe if my pet eats some?

The bedding is made from food-grade paper and is safe if ingested in small amounts. However, it is not a food source. Consult your vet if you have concerns about your pet's eating habits.

Can I use this bedding for other types of pets?

How do I store the bedding?
