Kaytee Kay Kob Bedding for Pets, 360 Cubic Inch

My pet fancy rat, Sir Hermey, started sneezing shortly after I got him. I had him separated immediately from other rats and on antibiotics, but after several weeks of no improvement we started to worry he was going to just die on us during the night. He started getting lethargic, cranky, pushing his bedding and food out of the cage, hiding in the corners and running when you tried to pick him up...it was frightening because I've never had a rat act like this before!A friend of mine had some of this kob bedding for her birds and she pointed out that Hermey seemed to be having trouble breathing whenever he was in the cage - but that his sneezing would virtually stop when he was outside. On a whim we completely emptied his cage and put a few handfuls of kob bedding in...his sneezing stopped almost immediately. Now he's got a few snuffles here and there, but he hasn't had any sneezing fits like before!Rat allergies DO happen, and if unchecked can kill your little buddies! :( I only use a small amount for litter in his 'potty spots' but he loves this stuff. I've noticed a decrease in his cage smells, and it doesn't stick if it gets wet like paper bedding. It also cleans up really easily, and he likes playing in it. Haven't had any trouble with him eating it and getting plugged up, and several sites recommend kob bedding (this particular brand) for all types of small animals (except reptiles).The only 'con' I have is that it's not very warm. I noticed the paper bedding in the other cages produce warmth when they're snuggling into it, and it's easier for them to drag paper bedding into their nests. The kob bedding doesn't really allow for my rats to use their imagination. I'd recommend using this as a litter and to absorb smells in the cage, but get them a pre-made nest with lots of things to gather. I can't use anything with paper in it because he sneezes too much, but he loves his little fuzzy hammock. I even gave him an old ankle-sock that he made into a sleeping bag. The kob bedding doesn't seem to cause him any trouble as far as sleeping comfortably, in fact he likes to drag his 'sleeping bag' into it and lay on top of it while he plays.Definitely recommend. Smells nice, easy clean up, absorbs urine odors, great for pets with allergies to paper or hypersensitive to dust, doesn't get sticky when wet, and very colorful! Thanks for such a great, quality, product at an affordable price!!!

Two mice can be a stinky proposition. Salt and Pepper were about to become adoption fodder if the odor problem was not resolved soon. We tried many different bedding, from dried wood shavings to fiber bedding with baking soda, not one worked to reduce the urine smell.Then I found a blog from a gentleman that owns 40 mice, and he swore by Kob Bedding, I figured why not.This stuff is amazing. The odor is controlled. The mice enjoy digging around in it, and occasionally bring it to the water bottle to soften as a treat. Very easy to clean up, absorbs urine, simply dump out the bedding and add fresh. I have found by adding a layer of baking soda on the bottom of the tray and laying this over the top reduces odor even more.If you have pets which have distinctive urine odors, give this a try, worth the money.

We have a small antique bird cage. Have been using the crumbled pine litter for years but recently its much harder to find so gave this a try. It's fantastic, works just as well & maybe even better as there is no dust in this cob litter like we had in the pine. We're switching to this stuff!

Good size package to provide ample supply. Easy to clean and change litter.

This is a fantastic product for bird cages. There is no harmful dust or odor. It completely absorbs any smells that come from a bird cage. I have five bird cages in my house. When I was using newspapers, my house was smelling a little 'birdy'. I didn't want to try pet litter as it has dust that is harmful to birds. I didn't want to use sand as there is no way to confirm that there are no bugs/molds/fungus. I have heard of using shavings like for a horse, but that also has dust, possible organisms and some wood is toxic to birds. I'm so glad I heard of this bedding. I loved this product from the first time I have used it. It is super easy to clean and looks so much nicer than newspaper. People always compliment me on how clean my cages are. I know it's partially because the bedding is the same color as poo, but hey, there is no smell, my birds are healthy, so what if you can't see the poo that's really there. BTW the price on Amazon is a fraction of what you would pay in a pet store. I buy the 40 pound bag. You can't beat it. Especially since shipping is included in the price! Another great Amazon product!

I use this product for the bottom of my cockatoos perch’s…Very easy to clean up.And it looks good!Absorbs the water that spills over from her water dish’s with no problem.I’m very pleased with this product.

Does a great job absorbing poops!

Well, I’d give it 5 stars for bird owners! Absorbency and scent aren’t really issues. The litter itself has no odor so that’s a real plus, because birds are sensitive. This is a safe thing to use on the bottom of my parrots cage, under the grating. It catches his wastes and clumps it and catches good that drops, preventing it from rotting. If his play stand was designed differently, scooping it out would be easy. As it is, I just dump it and scrub it. It’s great to have something natural and safe to use that doesn’t have dust or irritating scent. Great products for birds. I’ve used it for finches, canaries, and parakeets as well.

I find this works great for rat litter, they seem to like to use it. It doesnt have any dust, which is great.I wouldnt say its absorbent, but its easy to clean up, and seems to work quite well for rat litter. It doesnt mask smells. So I might try something else in future, but im still learning what works for the little girls.

Excellent bedding for my parrots

As title says

Excellent product. Arrived in time.

I really like this to use as bedding for my pet mouse. I usually put a thick layer of this, and then a lot of timothy hay on top for my mouse to nest with. I have to say, after trying different beddings over the years for mice ( like shredded newspaper, paper bedding, wood shavings) this definitely is the best thing for odors ive tried. As long as I wash the wheel , the cage wont stink for over a week. Would definitely recommend for other small pets.My only downside is that i have to get a new bag every 3 weeks or so, so the price bargain is not the greatest. But maybe subscribing will bring the cost down to a better price for me.
