Petlife Safebed Paper Wool Sachet – Small Animal Nesting Bedding

Petlife Safebed Paper Wool – Sachet

Paper wool is long, fine strands of paper rather than shredded flakes, and that is what makes it useful as nesting material. A rabbit or a hamster can pull out a single strand, carry it and arrange it, which is much closer to what the animal actually wants to do than pushing a heap of shavings around a nest box.

Petlife supply it as a white, disposable bedding that tears off to whatever length you need. The sachet is the smallest size in the range, ahead of the 2kg bag, the carry-home bag and the 10kg sack — enough for a nest box or two rather than the floor of a full hutch.

Performance & Benefits

• Long paper strands, so animals can pick them up and build a nest rather than burrow into loose flakes.
• Tears to length, which suits a small nest box as easily as a large one.
• White, so soiling shows up straight away and a daily health check is easier.
• Disposable, and light enough that a sachet's worth is no trouble to clear out.
• The sachet lets you try the material before committing to a 2kg bag.

Suitable For

• Rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils and chinchillas.
• Nest boxes, sleeping compartments and hides.
• Does building a nest before and after kindling.
• Trying paper wool for the first time.
• Nesting material rather than floor covering — for the whole floor of a hutch a bulk bedding such as Megazorb Original Wood Pulp Bedding goes much further.

How to Use

• Tear off the length you want and loosen the strands before putting them in.
• Place it in the nest box or sleeping area and let the animal arrange it itself.
• Lift out soiled and damp material daily rather than turning it back in.
• Replace the nest completely at the weekly clean.
• Use it on top of a floor covering, not as the floor covering.
