Petlife Safebed Paper Wool Bedding – 12 Pack

Petlife Safebed Paper Wool – 12 Sachets

Paper wool is long white paper strands rather than the short shreds most paper beddings are made of, and the length is what makes it work as nesting material. A hamster or a mouse takes a strand, drags it where it wants it and builds, which is behaviour a pile of shredded paper does not allow. You tear the strands to whatever length suits the cage.

It is white, which means you can see at a glance what needs changing — an underrated property in a small cage. This is a case of twelve sachets, which is the practical way to buy it for more than one animal or for a breeder keeping several nest boxes going.

Performance & Benefits

• Long white paper strands, torn to the length the cage or nest box needs.
• Lets a small animal build a nest rather than simply burrow into a heap.
• White, so soiled bedding is obvious and gets changed when it should be.
• Disposable and light, so a full change takes a minute.
• Soft against a nose and a set of feet that live in it all day.
• Twelve sachets in the case, which lasts a single animal a long time.

Suitable For

• Hamsters, gerbils and mice, as nesting material in a nest box or a corner.
• Rabbits, guinea pigs and chinchillas, which Petlife also list it for.
• Nest boxes, sleeping compartments and hides rather than the whole cage floor.
• Breeders and multi-animal households, given the twelve-sachet case.
• Not a substitute for hay in a rabbit or guinea pig cage — those need long-strand hay to eat as well as to lie in, and paper wool is bedding only.

How to Use

• Tear the strands to the length you want before putting them in.
• Put it in the nest box or sleeping area and let the animal arrange it itself.
• Top it up rather than replacing it entirely, so the nest keeps its familiar smell.
• Take out soiled and damp bedding daily and change the lot weekly.
• Keep unopened sachets somewhere dry; damp paper wool is no use to anything.
