Mine merrily dig about it in. Especially the Chinese. And they love to make monster nests with it.

Just ordered some for Jackson. He was on p@h woodshavings and last week I put a layer of carefresh over the top.. but its so expensive. So hopefully this stuff will be ok and I can get rid of the woodshavings all together and give him a deep enough layer to be able to dig in!

I think I'm going to try this.I like megazorb and hemp bedding and carefresh for a bit of colour, but this looks lovely too and I'm quite happy to mix beddings together for a bit of variety so will be ordering some of this

Emi has started to nest with this bedding - he never did this with anything else, even his shredded tissue!

I opened my bale this weekend and like it already. It doesn't make me wheeze which is lovely and does go a good way like Aubiose. I've done 10 bin cages, an Alaska, 4 Rodys, 4 Rydon compacts and half of the rats' exo terra and there's still some left. I have some in the diabetic cages so I'll soon see if it's as absorbent as the Aubiose. My only problems are that it's so snuggly it took twice as long to extricate the hams to pen them for the show yesterday (so a paws up from my hams there!) and I'm not sure how I'm going to find my BEW Chineseys and robo!

I'm pretty sure you can only get it online.
But it's only £15 for a 20kg bale, that's actually cheaper than pretty much all other beddings (at least where I live anyway)
The bale will last you a long time

I agree with purple _x - it's tightly packed which means it goes a long way and works out pretty economical.

slowly switching from carefresh to fitch:
