Small Pet Habitat Care Guide

Choosing the Right Bedding

Different small pets have different needs. Hamsters and gerbils love smaller pieces they can easily move to build elaborate burrows. Guinea pigs and rabbits produce more waste and require highly absorbent bedding to keep their enclosures dry and odor-free.

Hamster Cage Setup

Hamsters are natural burrowers. Fill the base of their cage with at least 3-5 inches of Carefresh Custom Hamster & Gerbil bedding. This deep layer allows them to dig tunnels and create cozy nests, mimicking their natural environment and reducing stress.

Guinea Pig Habitat Tips

Since guinea pigs don't burrow as much, a 2-inch layer of Carefresh bedding is sufficient. Ensure the entire floor is covered to protect their sensitive feet. Spot clean daily to remove heavily soiled areas, keeping the habitat fresh.

Maintenance Schedule

How often should bedding be changed? Spot clean daily to remove wet spots and droppings. Completely replace the bedding and thoroughly wash the enclosure once a week or every 10 days to maintain maximum hygiene and take full advantage of the odor control technology.

Monitoring Health

Light-colored bedding, especially pure white options, makes it incredibly easy to act as a health monitor. By easily spotting changes in urine color or stool consistency, you can catch potential health issues early and consult your veterinarian immediately.

Safe Nesting Habits

Avoid using cotton or fluffy nesting materials as they can cause dangerous blockages if ingested. Carefresh natural paper fibers are soft, pillowy, and 100% safe for your pet to pouch (like hamsters) and manipulate into elaborate, cozy nests.
