Carefresh vs Fitch

Fluffagrams · 05-23-2015, 03:01 AM

I'm coming to the end of my large bale of Carefresh that I bought with a discount voucher online. I'm wondering how Fitch works out for value for money in comparison?

I would say yes, given Fitch comes in a much larger bale? I`ve tried fitch and Carefresh and Fitch is by FAR a better product. x

I can't comment on comparing the two as I have never tried Carefresh, however I bought a 20kg bale of Fitch in December last year and I've not finished it yet, my cage is 100cm. For £19.99 including delivery I definitely think it's value for money and I'm very pleased with the product itself too.

I have ordered Fitch directly from them. This saved about £2 from the Amazon price I think. I use Fitch because my daughter Dusty switched from carefresh to Fitch and prefers it. Like Ruby says it will clearly last for months and so will be excellent value.

Fitch is definitely a lot cheaper & a lot nicer, just make sure you have room to store it though, the bag is huge!

Perfectly true Cypher! Mine is stored in Dusty's old bedroom now that she has moved out!

Wish I could give Fitch a try, but the bales are simply too big! I'm definitely getting a bit tired of Carefresh now as it is so dusty and expensive, but they don't really have any alternatives at my local P@H. I have heard good things about Fitch though, so tell me if it makes a difference!

Maebh06-have you noticed in marketplace that Dexter Chloe is selling 2/3rds of a Fitch bale so maybe that will save some space! But you have to go to Bracknell...

You can get smaller (10kg) bales directly from them if space is a bit of an issue!

Thankfully I've got somewhere to put it.

One thing I think I prefer from the look of Fitch is the colour of it. The Natural coloured Carefresh doesn't look all that appealing and Meat almost seems camouflage against it.
