I think I had only had one bag of 20kg Fitch that was of good quality; all the others had large bits of cardboard, a bad smell, and at one point bits of plastic. The last two bags I had of Fitch were also extremely dusty; so much so that I'm not surprised my hamster died from respiratory issues a year ago. With the severe decrease in quality and huge price increase, I've sworn off it for good, and have been looking for alternatives while I wait for when I can bring new hammies into my home.
So far I've found a teabag bedding from petbeddinguk, but my other options seem to be shredding kitchen towel myself, or going back to using wood shavings or hemp, as I have two 100x50 cages with rather deep bases to fill, so costs add up.
