Living World Wood Aspen Shavings, 2500-Cubic Inch

I bought these shavings for my corn snake's viv so he could burrow, and it works great. It holds its shape well and is significantly cheaper than reptile brand aspen (they're exactly the same thing). Just break it up in your hands to give it more volume, and layer a few inches so whatever pet you have can tunnel around in it.Side note: like any wood substrate it will trap water and has to be replaced when damp to prevent molding, and does not lend itself well to bioactive enclosures if that's what you're going for.

We got this to use in our composting toilet in our tiny house. Yes, that's an unconventional use for pet bedding, but sometimes you need to absorb your own poop - not just your pet's. The way it works is, you put some shavings down in the bucket, you do your business, then you cover it with some more shavings. In theory, if you do it right (and separate the solids from the liquids), you won't be able to smell it, and it'll eventually turn into compost you can use to grow your food! (that's the simplest, simplest explanation - you should really just look it up on youtube).Anyway - we got this one because it's the cheapest we could find, and we are extremely happy with it! It masks my stench so my wife no longer gags when I do my business in the next room (which is only separated by a thin piece of plywood).

I have two guinea pigs in a cage that is 24 x 36 inches. I spend a lot of money on bedding each month just to keep their cage clean. I usually switch between pine shavings and the paper lavender stuff that smells good. This is cheaper and is compacted tightly into it's package. I got a lot of use out of it and it actually held the odor and moisture for longer than the other pine bedding that I purchase from a large pet store. I will keep purchasing this along with the lavender, it works well and I don't have to change their bedding as much.

It's pretty dusty and can sometimes have large pieces in it that are dangerous. But I've been using this exact one for about a year now for my Gerbil mixed w paper bedding and an assortment of cardboard she loves shredding and I haven't had any other issues. When I pour the bag in her tank I shuffle my hand through it a few times to make sure if anything pokes me or is too hard I can grab it out. It's a good price for the amount. I use one whole bag for a 55Gallon tank usually with a bag of paper bedding about the same size or smaller. She makes a lot of her own bedding by shredding boxes or paper rolls I give her.

I babysat my nephews' guinea pig for a week while they were on vacation. The cage needed cleaning and they hadn't left any shavings so I bought these. Oliver seemed okay with them and I thought they were probably absorbent enough since I didn't see dark spots.What I liked best - the light color because WOW, do guinea pigs poop a lot. The color contrast made it easy to pick the poops out so Oliver wasn't living in it. Important because he pooped indiscriminately - in his house, by his food bowl, under his water spout - just everywhere. (Turns out, they eat their poop, they don't absorb all the nutrients the first time around. Who knew?)Anyhow, these did the job. I'd buy them again.

I've used this product for an entirely different purpose. I needed something other than scrap fabrics to stuff the custom bra/bust tailor's ham I'm making from scratch. It turned out nicely. You get a lot in just one bag (I've purchased two). I'll be making more of these soon!

I wanted to try these pine shavings to go all natural for my cats litter box. Huge fail ... with no weight & light as a feather, they flew everywhere when my cat covered up her business, making a huge mess everywhere. They would be great for a hamster's bedding, etc. Just not for a litter box.

Good quality wood chips. Large pieces, not dusty, and most importantly, not scented. My Syrian hamster, Winnie, seems to love digging in it and incorporating it in his bedding. He does not sneeze or have any skin problems with this (nor do I). I love that this does not have a scent to it, which makes it healthy for Winnie and me. I highly recommend this product. I also recommend: Prevue Pet Products 528 Dark Gray Universal Small Animal Home, Fiestaware Ramakin, Kaytee Chew-Proof 6 oz Water Bottle, Silent Runner 9” Exercise Wheel with cage attachment, Kaytee Mini Igloo Hideout.

we recommended as bedding ... seems to be a very good product, happy with it

I recently tried these aspen wood shavings for my guinea pig, and they have been a game changer. The pack offers plenty of bedding that lasts a good while, making it a great value for the price.The shavings are impressively absorbent, keeping my pet’s cage dry and fresh for longer periods. I’ve also noticed a significant reduction in dust and odors, which has made cleaning a breeze. Plus, the hypoallergenic properties give me peace of mind, knowing my guinea pig is safe from any respiratory or skin issues.Overall, I’m very satisfied with this product. It’s made a noticeable difference in my pet’s comfort and my ease of maintenance. Highly recommend it!

Love this product. ..

Perfect- not dusty, packaging was in perfect condition, and my baby is once more happy in a clean cage. Very good shavings for use in chinchilla's cage, as they help mask the already minimal odour associated with these critters.

I will only buy this kind of aspen shavings. My snake loves it. I tried another brand and my snake was not happy; got sick. We put this back in and he was so happy, he loves to burrow down in it. Love that its larger fluffy shavings and Its not that dusty like some brands. Great price too
