As a proud owner of two dwarf hamsters, I’ve tried my fair share of bedding options, but Oxbow Pure Comfort Bedding has been a game-changer. The moment I fluffed it into their enclosure, they dove in like tiny excavators, tunneling and nesting with pure joy.

What stands out? The softness. It’s like shredded clouds—no harsh textures that could irritate delicate paws. My hamsters, Pickle and Peanut, burrow effortlessly, and the natural color blends seamlessly with their habitat (no neon distractions!). Plus, the dust-free claim holds up—no sneezes or airborne particles during cage clean-outs.

Odor control is decent but not magical. For my bi-weekly full changes (in a 20-gallon tank), one bag lasts months. Pro tip: Layer it thick for winter—it retains warmth beautifully. The only gripe? When wet, it ‘poofs’ unpredictably, so measure carefully.

Compared to Kaytee’s dusty mess or pine shavings (a big no for small pets), this is a safe, budget-friendly winner. Even my finicky bunny approves—it’s now our household staple.
