This Pet Bedding Wood Shavings product from Storm Trading Group is an ideal choice for small pet owners—such as hamster and gerbil enthusiasts—who prioritize a clean, comfortable, and natural living environment. The primary benefit is the combination of high absorbency and dust-extracted materials that promote respiratory health and superior odor control. While these shavings provide an excellent nesting medium, users should note that they are specifically designed for small rodents, and the volume may require frequent replenishment depending on the size of the enclosure.

This product is primarily formulated for hamsters and gerbils. While some owners use it for other small animals, it is best suited for those that burrow.
Spot clean daily and perform a full bedding change every 10-14 days depending on the size of your pet and the cage.
No, these shavings are made from natural wood and do not contain added artificial fragrances or chemicals.
One 3kg bag is typically sufficient for a standard sized starter hamster habitat, but larger tanks may require two bags for deep-layer burrowing.
Because it is natural wood, it is generally compostable, provided your pet is healthy and you are not using chemical cleaners on the bedding.
Gently massage the bag or use your hands to fluff the material once poured into the habitat.
While the product is dust-extracted, ensure the enclosure has proper ventilation; if symptoms persist, consult a veterinarian to rule out allergies.
To set up the bedding, ensure the enclosure base is clean and dry. Shake the bag gently before opening to fluff the shavings, as they can become compressed during shipping. Pour the shavings into the enclosure and spread evenly with your hand to reach the corners. Regarding compatibility, this product is perfectly suited for glass aquariums, plastic modular cages, and traditional wire-topped cages. For maintenance, keep the bag in a cool, dry place; moisture can compromise the absorbency of the wood fibers if the bag is left open in a humid room. Always perform a full cage scrub and total bedding replacement at least once every two weeks.
