After testing Oxbow’s Pure Comfort Bedding for months with my mischief of mice and a picky hamster, I’m convinced it’s a game-changer for small pet owners. Here’s the real tea:
The Good Stuff: First off, the fluff factor is unreal—it’s like shredded clouds! My mice go nuts tunneling and nesting in it, and my hamster Theodore burrows like he’s on a mission. Unlike harsh wood shavings (looking at you, cedar), this paper bedding is 99.9% dust-free, so no sneeze-fests during cage cleanouts.
Odor Control: It absorbs pee like a champ—my rabbit’s cage stays fresher longer compared to Kaytee (RIP, dusty betrayer). Though one rat owner noted it doesn’t fully mask smells, my mice’s ‘apartment’ stays neutral for days. Pro tip: Layer it 4+ inches deep for max burrow joy.
The Quirks: That ‘28L’ label? It’s compressed—fluffs up way bigger (some felt misled). And when wet, it expands like popcorn—start with less than you think! Not the cheapest, but this bag lasts me 6 months with 3 mice in a 10-gallon tank.
The Verdict: If your pet coughs around dusty bedding or you hate sniffing pee 24/7, this is worth every penny. Stock up on sales—your tiny overlords will thank you with happy zoomies.
