Carefresh's commitment to keeping their products healthy and fresh ensures that their small animal bedding is made from scratch and that their food features 10 real fruits and vegetables.
When selecting colors to go into their products, Carefresh specifically uses those with a history of human use and are never tested on animals. In addition to using natural colors, Carefresh also refuses to use bleach in their white pet bedding products, so you can provide your pet with a comfortable area to rest that's made from virgin reclaimed paper fibers. Carefresh now offers new species specific bedding, so hamsters, guinea pigs, chinchillas and more can each get their perfect fit. Because Carefresh natural paper fibers are three times more absorbent than wood shavings, your small animal can stay warm and dry longer. The unique Carefresh Odor Stop formula can keep small animal cages smelling fresh for up to 10 days by suppressing ammonia odors.
To ensure your pet's safety, Carefresh food and bedding products go through rigorous quality assurance procedures and third party testing and adhere to established safety guidelines mandated by regulatory and animal welfare agencies. All Carefresh products are reviewed by veterinarians and other experts to ensure animal health, so if your pet nibbles a little bedding out of curiosity or habit, they'll be safe.
Carefresh is constantly evolving to meet pet parent's expectations from the food they provide their small animals. From changing the hay in their Carefresh rabbit food products, to dropping artificially shaped pellets in favor of natural and healthy treats like carrots, sweet potato and apple, Carefresh goes out of their way to provide your small animals with the highest quality ingredients they can find.

Softwood litters i.e. pine shavings or sawdust newspaper, paper pulp bedding, wood pellets, paper pellets, shredded cardboard, straw and hay all make good bedding. The best is probably a combination of newspaper and hay since you feed hay anyway. Newspaper is also easily cleaned out.

Hi there, and thank you for your question. There is a definite risk of a gastric or intestinal obstruction with ingestion of litter, so I would recommend switching to a bedding type that she will not eat. This may be a bit of trial and error to find the right bedding, but I would suggest trying Carefresh, or Yesterday's News as safe, non-toxic options. I hope this helps, and that Mistle is otherwise happy and healthy!
