Quite suitable, but the suction power is mediocre.

I don't think the straw pellets are bad. There's no unpleasant smell or anything like that. They don't create dust and are well tolerated by our rabbits. However, they're not very economical for a very large cage. Of course, it also depends on the rabbit.

We're pretty easy-going when it comes to smells. Up until now, we've been using wood pellets as bedding. Then we decided to give straw pellets a try. The straw pellets absorb really well, but unfortunately, that's the only positive thing about them. We have guinea pigs kept indoors in their own room. After a week, when it's time to clean out, it gets really unpleasant—the smell from the straw pellets is genuinely awful. It was worth a try, but we'll be sticking with the wood pellets.

The bedding delivers what it promises. It is absolutely dust- and odour-free, absorbs moisture exceptionally well, and is very economical. However, one star less because the bag is far too heavy and almost impossible to handle. Please offer smaller packaging, as I can no longer order the product like this. For those who don’t mind because they have two strong men to help, feel free to go for it without hesitation.

This product delivers what it promises. It’s low in dust, absorbs moisture optimally, and even after days, there’s no unpleasant odour. The price-performance ratio is spot on, and I can genuinely only recommend this product. The only downside, and the reason for not giving five stars, is that at 25 kilos, this bag is almost impossible to handle. Even my husband struggled with it, and I don’t even want to think about the poor postwoman. It would be great if the product were offered in smaller portions.

I can wholeheartedly recommend it, but the package size is insane... Could you perhaps introduce more manageable sizes, maybe in 10-15kg bags?! 25kg is far too heavy!!! Otherwise, great value for money!

Super absorbent and a pleasant smell. Our guinea pigs are thrilled. We can only recommend it.

The pellets absorb perfectly and do a great job of neutralising the smell of urine. The only downside, as is common with straw pellets, is that they have a slight odour of their own. On the plus side, they don’t get crushed as easily and don’t produce as much dust as wood pellets.

I am very satisfied with this product. It absorbs everything and there’s no odour. I’ve been buying this product for over a year now and will continue to do so. SUPER!!!

I am very satisfied with the product; the cage doesn’t smell, and if you remove the crumbled pellets, it’s also quite economical.

So, it’s dust-free, but my rabbits are constantly digging around in it and also slipping when they hop. I put old newspapers underneath, which solves the slipping problem and they also absorb some of the mess. The loud digging is really annoying though, even though with their 150 cm large cages and almost daily hours-long free run, they can’t really complain about lack of space. It still smells of urine despite this, so I clean it daily as usual. Nevertheless, I’ll buy it again because of the 100% dust-free quality, as there’s nothing else that’s truly dust-free. I’ve tried everything, and this is the best for larger small animals, especially since they’re very prone to mites due to dust, which isn’t an issue here. Or does anyone know of a truly dust-free bedding?

All our rabbits love the pellets as toilet bedding and have been using the litter tray diligently ever since! However, I always add a soft, thin layer of small animal bedding on top of the rather hard (but super absorbent) pellets. With two rabbits, cleaning the litter tray every three days is sufficient. No odour, no puddles in the tray, and the surface stays nice and dry because the bedding channels moisture down to the pellets. One bag lasts a couple of months easily when used with two litter trays in combination with bedding. As a standalone enclosure filling, I’d say it’s unsuitable (too hard and smooth), but our bunnies dash around the flat anyway and only need the pellets for the litter tray ;) I’ve been buying this for almost a year now and will continue with this combination because it’s absolutely convinced me!

I use it for the rabbit toilet and I'm very satisfied. One bag lasts a really long time, and the price-performance ratio is spot on.
