Hi everyone
I received my bale of Fitch the other day and I thought I'd share my initial opinions on it. Please tell me if there is anything I've missed
PROS
-Very good value for money
-Virtually dust-free
-Bag lasts ages - 3 cage cleans only used a quarter of the bag
-Very soft, much softer than CareFresh
-Holds burrows and tunnels well
-Large quantity means you can put a deep layer in the cage
-Excellent absorbency & odour control
-No phenols or toxins
-Competely biodegradeable - safe for hams to ingest
CONS
-Size of bag makes it hard to store unless you have something like a shed
-Very heavy
-Plastic bag is very thin - if recommend using something like garden waste bags to store it
-Whiteness can vary from batch to batch
-No colour selection
-Can cling to LH males' coats
-Lot of money to spend at once
Overall I'd give this bedding a 9/10 and would definitely recommend it if you are looking for an absorbent, soft and dust-free bedding. Our LH Female Syrian loves it and so do we
