I wanted to try it as flooring in my aviary, but unfortunately I can't recommend it for birds because it gives off an unpleasant smell—I had to replace it after just one day. I then passed it on to a rabbit owner, but he wasn't convinced either, not just because of the smell.
I usually buy soft bedding, hemp bedding. Tried two bales from this brand. Both bales smelled sour and old when I opened the bag. The smell got even worse in the cage after just a few hours. The rats started reacting to something and cleared out all the bedding two days later. Tried it for the hamster too, but I’ll have to clean it out and switch to something else. I’m going to throw away what’s left of the bedding.
