Bedding and Substrate

[tori1282]

So I need to get a substrate that will be used all over the cage floor. I’ve been looking at lots of options such as carefresh and megazorb but I was just wondering where can I buy these and other good beddings for an affordable price. I’ve laready looked at pets at home/pampered pes/pets corner/Amazon. Any links of products from these or other shops would be appreciated.

Carefresh - when I used to use carefresh I bought mine mainly from pets at home when it was on offer. Other websites which sells Carefresh for less than p@h - (10l bags)https://www.vetuk.co.uk/index.php?ma...word=Carefresh, https://fetch.co.uk/carefresh,
(50l bags) Product Search - Over 8.000 Products.
Another similar to Carefresh is Fitch - this is the substrate I use in my hamsters cage it’s really cost effective for the size of the bags (10, 15 or 20kg bags- the 20kg lasts me around 6 months) https://www.fitchrecycling.co.uk/ani...t-bedding.html
Megazorb - https://www.fitchrecycling.co.uk/cat...lt/?q=Megazorb and https://www.countrywidefarmers.co.uk...b-bedding-15kg

I also think amazon also sells all these substrate too

I use Megazorb in my hamsters cages which I got from Millbry Hill the last time I bought some: https://www.millbryhill.co.uk/equest.../megazorb-p744

I would go for fitch that SKB linked to, it's about the most economical substrate, virtually dust free & the hams love it.
Carefresh tends to be expensive & some can have a bit of a strange smell.
I've found megazorb to be extremely dusty.

2nd vote for Fitch! Much cheaper and it's actually the best quality I've seen!

Hemp is not an option?

[cypher]

Hemp is fine too, not so readily available (or cheap as fitch), Zooplus is the best place for hemp.

Hi,

I would definitely put in another vote for Fitch.

for hemp, I recently bought a bale of auboise (hemp bedding) from omlette, an online chicken supplies store for just £13. https://www.omlet.co.uk/shop/chicken...edding_-_20kg/

its a bit loose for tunneling but seems to have gone down well enough with Luna.

the only down side to either of these is that it can be hard to store the large bales. but they're such good value its definitely worth the hassle.

Zooplus has carefresh as well if that's any good

I was looking into megazorb as it’s quite cheap but most people have been saying is dusty so obviously the hamster comes first so I don’t want dusty bedding, I’ll be looking into Fitch, thanks for all your help ����
