Fitch has been highly recommended but personally never used it as it comes in huge bags and I don't have a huge cage to put it in, mine holds about 60l so idk where I'd store the bags  |
I’ve tried both Kaytee clean & cozy white and Carefresh white, and also Carefresh natural. Carefresh natural is a big no no, smells weird even exposed for long time and very very dusty. Carefresh white slightly dusty but was ok. Prefer Kaytee white and it’s soft, it just often moves everywhere as my robo loves burrowing and it’s very light bedding, it expands and compressed very very easily. But it’s fine for me as long as my robo is healthy and happy. Did consider Fitch but still finishing my bag of Kaytee for now. Whenever I used Carefresh as emergency from pets at home, I put a small portion of Kaytee as nesting material and Yoyo loves to stuff Kaytee in his house, so I assume he like Kaytee more.
