One thing worth knowing

No bag volume or litre capacity is given for this — only the weight, 3.5kg — so if you're trying to work out how many bags you need for a specific hutch size, we can't give you a fill-volume figure to plan against.

Why we chose it

It's the reliable, no-nonsense bedding option that most small animal owners are actually looking for. A UK-manufactured bag at this size is also priced to be a repeat purchase rather than an occasional treat.

Full description

Bedding that doesn't hold odour is the difference between a hutch you're happy to clean weekly and one that needs attention every couple of days, and softwood shavings are the traditional answer to that. Bestpets' shavings are a straightforward, no-frills version of it.

They're softwood shavings with a forest-fresh pine fragrance, described as biodegradable and eco-friendly, manufactured in the UK. Bestpets pitch them at rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, mice and other small animals generally rather than any one species specifically.

LGE bag

One thing worth knowing. No bag volume or litre capacity is given for this — only the weight, 3.5kg — so if you're trying to work out how many bags you need for a specific hutch size, we can't give you a fill-volume figure to plan against.

Who it's for: small animal owners who want a straightforward, unscented-beyond-pine bedding rather than a paper or fleece alternative, at a size that lasts a reasonable stretch between changes.
