Bedmax Bedmax Shavings - Horse Bedding Bale - Aprox 20Kg

My guinea pigs have been using this bedding for two weeks now and they are rather impressed. Lady Red’s cough has gone because unlike the previous wood shavings these ones are dust extracted. They are a good quality, larger wood shaving. The smallest shavings in the bag are the size of a normal shaving for most other brands. The shavings aren’t as tightly jammed together so are much easier to get out of the bag, unlike the previous brands which required a lot of upper body strength. They absorb well trapping the ammonia smell. Although Isambard threatened to move out if I left the cages another day. That was more due to the hay smelling damp and his passive-aggressive Clifton Suspension Bridge modelled out of guinea pig poop. However, the was one small draw back. My guinea pigs now smell like they’ve started a promising career as tobacconists. The wood shavings are kilned dried giving them distinctly smoky aroma, akin to cade. Whilst the odour may not be to everyone’s liking it means the wood shavings are a better quality than most, which are air dried leaving the wood oils in the shaving potentially risking skin irritation. The smoky scent does fade from the room after a day yet remains on my guinea pigs as a faint cologne. Ezra now thinks he’s an upper middle-class gentleman and behaves with far more sophistication. He’s taken to reading The Guardian in a waistcoat during breakfast. I think they are great value and having 5 guinea pigs I need shavings that last. I’ve barely used a fifth of the bag on a three-tier cage and a separate fourth cage that have been cleaned out twice so far. Ezra dosent like it when Lady Red flirts with other men, he gets very jealous, so Erasmus has the life of a bachelor and more human attention which he loves. Back to my point, I’m impressed with this product as are my furry tobacconists. I would highly recommend it.

Proper large flakes. Very compressed, quarter of the bale went a long way. Not dusty with a fresh wood scent. Will definitely buy again.

This was very good value for money, the bale is much bigger than expected and the contents are compressed. I put 3-4' in the bottom of my two rats' cage and they love digging in it. I really like the smell but don't find it too strong, and I've not had any splinters from handling it. Obviously something like Carefresh is more absorbent but this is still very good and doesn't have to be changed frequently if they have a litter tray as well. My rats don't seem to pee in it at all, they just dig and bounce about. I've only bought one bale but it's completely dust free and I would give it higher marks than any paper bedding.

Item arrived well packaged, the shavings are a good size and make a really thick and comfortable layer in both my rabbit and guinea pigs hutches and cages. I have cleaned out two double outdoor hutches and three indoor cages and it hasn't made a dent in the amount of shavings in the bag. I would recommend these shavings for both young and older pets, the smell from the shavings is not overpowering and the shavings seem very absorbent, the rabbits seem to enjoy digging in them. I will be ordering again.

I've been using this for a year now for my rats, and this is the cheapest and most convenient place I've found to order from. It's dust free so safe for their respiratory systems, mine have no issues with it. The bale is huge and lasts me a good few months, so definitely good value for money. Only issue I have is some of the flakes are quite big and get stuck in the hoover occasionally, but that's no fault of the product (just a point if you're thinking of getting this to use for cages indoors).

This is a good quality product. I bought it to use as substrate for my fancy rats as it is dust extracted. It is a massive bale which will last a long time. You can buy cheaper if you have a local equestrian shop but getting it delivered to your door is a plus as it’s so heavy. I have however found myself sneezing since using this substrate so fear I’m somehow allergic to it, I do have a dust allergy but this is dust extracted. Just thought I’d mention it for people who have a similar allergy. I won’t be buying another for this reason but that aside it is a very good product. My rats like it and it masks smells very well.

I use it for my duck enclosure, very good at absorbing moisture and lots comes in the packaging.

Have bought this on a few occasions for my small pets. It has usually been a good experience, but unfortunately it arrived very damp this time., So have been afraid to use it for my rats, have been using it for the outside pets. I think it may have been a bale on the bottom of a pallet and with the rotten weather lately the rain must have leaked into it. Not ideal but at least I was able to make use of it. As the other bales have been good I will purchase it again.. 🤞

Utile en mélange dans un nid d'oiseau avec du lin et du hêtre mais seul il n'absorbe rien
