Litter lines the bottom of the cage: it absorbs urine, traps odours and keeps a dry, hygienic environment for your rodent. Unlike hay, it is not a food but a substrate for comfort and cleanliness. AnimalParadise has selected dust-free litters and shavings — hemp, flax, cellulose — that respect the airways of your little companions.
Plant-based litters such as hemp and flax offer very high absorbency while neutralising ammonia odours. Cellulose and dust-free shavings suit sensitive animals. The key is to choose a dry substrate, free of chemical fragrance and low in dust, to protect the fragile lungs of rodents.
Remove soiled areas every day and replace the entire litter once or twice a week depending on the size of the animal and the habitat. A clean cage floor limits paw irritation, infections and bad smells, for a healthy home all week long.
The AnimalParadise expert tip: spread a 3 to 5 cm layer of litter for optimal absorbency, and avoid untreated resinous shavings that can irritate; pair the floor litter with a corner tray to make cleaning easier.
