FAQs
Is Safebed Paper Shavings safe if my pet chews it?
Yes, it is made from food-grade, non-toxic materials, making it safe if accidentally ingested.
Can this be used for rabbits?
Yes, it is suitable for rabbits, though it is best used as a nesting or comfort layer rather than a primary litter box substrate.
How often should I change the bedding?
Spot-clean soiled areas daily and perform a full change every 7 to 14 days, depending on the number of pets and cage size.
Does this product help with odors?
Yes, its absorbent nature helps lock in moisture, which naturally reduces common pet odors.
Is this product suitable for outdoor hutches?
Yes, it is suitable for outdoor use, provided the hutch remains dry and protected from excessive wind that might blow the paper away.
How much does one 800g bag cover?
Coverage depends on the depth of the cage, but a standard 800g bag is sufficient to provide a comfortable base layer for a medium-sized hamster habitat.
Troubleshooting
Bedding produces too much dust when pouring
Gently shake the bag before opening to allow particles to settle, or pour from a lower height into the habitat.
Pet is dragging bedding out of the cage
Ensure the cage walls are high enough or use a scatter guard to keep the loose paper contained.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the bedding, ensure the habitat floor is clean and dry before spreading the shavings evenly. For best results, use a deeper layer in areas where your pet prefers to sleep. The product is compatible with almost all standard wire-top cages, glass aquariums, and modular plastic habitats. Regarding care, remove soiled sections daily to maintain a hygienic environment. While the material is non-toxic, always wash your hands thoroughly after handling soiled bedding to maintain good hygiene practices.
