Zooply Cardboard Shavings Mix is dust-free and highly absorbent bedding of 100 litres for rodents. Large size for long-term use. Read more.
Zooply Cardboard Shreds Mix is an eco-friendly bedding of shredded brown cardboard mixed with pieces of egg carton for rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, rats, mice and other rodents (also suitable for long-haired animals). Thanks to the loose mix, droppings sink to the bottom, keeping the surface clean and dry for longer. Cardboard Shreds Mix absorbs up to 5 times as much moisture as wood fibre and 2 times as much as hemp, and is very suitable for long-haired animals and rats. Apply a layer of about 5-6 cm so the whole floor is covered. The product is compostable and may go with food/garden waste.
The dust-free composition is pleasant for your pet's sensitive airways and prevents dust from building up in the enclosure.
For rabbits, guinea pigs and chinchillas, a layer of about 5 cm as a base layer is enough. Hamsters, gerbils and degus love to dig: give these animals at least 15-20 cm (Syrian hamsters preferably 25-30 cm) so real tunnels can form and stay intact. For mice, 10-15 cm is a good guideline. For rats, a layer of about 5 cm is sufficient as a base floor; if you want to set up a separate digging box, it can certainly be deeper.
Yes, cardboard shreds mix is sturdy enough to keep tunnels intact, making it a good base for a digging layer in hamster scaping, gerbil scaping or rat scaping.
Remove wet or dirty spots daily (spot cleaning) and refresh the full layer as soon as it no longer smells fresh or is clearly dirty. How often this is needed depends on the number of pets and the size of the enclosure.
Yes, Zooply Cardboard Shreds Mix is made from natural, biodegradable materials without harmful additives and is dust-free so it doesn't burden your pet's airways.
Zooply stands for quality. We specialise in herbs and treats — precisely the areas where things most often go wrong for many pets. That's why our range is deliberately small per product group: we only offer the best option, nothing less. And we use it ourselves, every day, with our own animals.
