This bedding is safe and affordable , nice smell but not overpowering . Not the best for absorbency but it's not bad . It dosent hold tunnels for hamsters and gerbils but is a good bedding for the majority of the cage .
I brought this because I got scared by stuff on the internet about wood shavings for small animals ( not being good for them) I have since found out that it is just hype by mis-informed people and there is no absolute proof but I will say that my hamster likes this hemp and it does seem to be less dusty than sawdust so if you have a deep cage and want some serious tunneling I would get this hemp again but maybe in a bigger bag
