Naturally absorbent, shredded soft wood pine makes an excellent bedding and litter for many types of small animals. The unique texture encourages your pet's natural desire to nest and burrow, while its natural absorbency keeps cages clean and prevents odors. Shavings in Sun seed Northern white pine bedding go through a special multi-step screening process to remove fine dust that could be harmful to your pet's respiratory system, making it safe for both your pet and your home.
