Carefresh-Natural '2 shades' ??

[peridotgreen]

So recently me and my sister bought some carefresh natural, the first lot we bought was like a very pale sandy colour, the 2nd batch was dark brown.

BOTH called 'natural' , does anyone have any idea why??

We still used it as it didn't smell funky or anything but just curiouswhy, I thought it may have been an old batch or something but I don't think thats the case, see images below
(tried to add via image attach link but didn't work, so added the links instead)

Yes, i think it is because if you look on the carefresh website they split their bedding into a natural colour range and a coloured range. Both the white and brown are classed as part of the natural range. Hope that helps.

They are both the same product as carefresh is made from natural wood fibres the colour can vary from batch to batch. I’ve noticed the darker brown always used to be harder felt more like cardboard whereas the lighter brown is softer. I wouldn’t be concerned with the colour.
