Has anyone tried this bedding? I do believe it is a Flax bedding but does NOT contain Citronella Oil.

This is what is said about it
"A loose 3-5 cm layer of Bed O’Linum provides your pet with the maximum
level of comfort and guarantees that it will have a comfortable, dry
surface for moving and sleeping on. Replace the corners containing
droppings and urine with new Bed O'Linum as necessary; as a result, you and
your pets enjoy a clean cage for weeks. According to the size of the cage
and the number of animals in it, bunny Bed O'Linum stays dry for up to 14
days and constantly stops the smell of ammonia.

bunny Bed O’Linum is a natural product that biodegrades quickly and can
be disposed of in the bio-waste bin or in the compost.
35 litres corresponds to a filling level of approximately 5 cm on an area
of 120 cm x 60 cm
 
This was launched in the UK this year, it is good stuff. If any of you were at the Bradford Excel show you may have seen it's launch there. It is imperative though that you fill to the correct depth or it is false economy. You basically just remove the soiled areas and replace with new to the required depth. There are no nasty ammonia smells too:)
 
I might not be reading the website link well but where do you buy this product from Id be interested in trying it.

Thanks:)
 
I might have to get some of that myself to line the litter trays with. I usually change them every day, but it sounds odd by I now find it difficult to get hold of enough newspapers...

I have that problem too, I'm going to try it in my hayloft :)... the puppy pads get so smelly and wet after 2 days... Figure this stuff might work better!

Yes I'm finding that - have to change puppy pads every 2 days and the paper cat litter which really does have a strange smell to me! Will try this see how we get on. Must keep an eye out for it coming in stock, thanks for that.
 
Bedding

I saw this product at the Bradford show, I show small rodents but also keep a few guineas too although I dont show these. I brought the deal of buy one get one free at the show, and have been using it since then.

I have noticed a much reduced smell in the animal shed, it is lovely and soft and has a clean smell to it, it can be a little flyaway in plastic cages but in wooden hutches or glass cages (small animals) there is no problem. The best thing I like so far is it clumps the wet corners so it makes cleaning out very easy, all I have to do is take that area out scoup any rubbish off the top layer and sprinkle in fresh bedding.

I have tried it on both long haired's, and smooth haired's with no matting on the long haired's it just blows out of their coat, which is brilliant.

I have used other bedding including vet bed etc and must admit I really like the naturalness of this product and for me it works.

I know you can get it from the Bunny website www.bunny-nature.co.uk (says she reading the card) I shall be ordering some more when I have used the final bag.;)
 
Have been in touch with the company and will be ordering some to try soon:) looking forward to trying this - sounds just what me and the guineas have been waiting for!

Just to say Ive been emailing the company and there will be a special offer in March on their website for the bedding for the smaller or larger bags. This will basically be buy 2 bags get 1 free offer:) I will be placing an order - will let you know how we get on with this new product - have to say Its sounding like what Ive been looking for for a while now for Monty's hutch!
 
We got notified of this offer too today and will be passing it on to our customers which means it will also hopefully raise some extra money for the rescue buns:).

It only stands about knee height and is not that heavy really.

Megasorb is cheaper but the bags are big and very heavy. They are both good bedding though. We use megasorb here for our boarders in their litter trays

The only reason I want to try this stuff is GG advises against megasorb because it's rough on there feet... as I can't track down equisorb this seems the next best thing :)
 
I do find megazorb dusty have found an aubiouse stockist nearby well 6 miles away but as I don't drive still hard to get. Am keen to try this mainly for monty inside but also for the others in hutches, am not liking the paper based cat litter that much either have a feeling this product will be good!
 
Bed olinum

I too have used megazorb in the past I stoped using it as the place where I used to buy it kept it outside and it often got wet, and I had to drive 40 mins to go and get it, so didnt work out that cheap. I think over the years I have tried quite a few products on my animals, from cat litter to paper to vet bed etc.

All I can go on is my personal experience on using this product on the guineas, one house rabbit, and the hamsters and gerbils, it has certainly cut down on the urine smell in the house and seems to save me a lot of time, yes ok you have to clean out the wet corner, but you do that on any product especially in a house but in some cages I still havent done a full clean out 2 weeks later, but you muist put in 3-5cm min into the cage/hutch otherwise it wont work that well, i've learnt that from experience.

I also love how they snuggle down into it, in some cages you can see a round nest where they have been thats so cute x), and as an added bonus I had noticed their coats seem even softer :)).

With their offer on at the moment and delivered to your door you cant go wrong, well its worth a try anyway. Thats my thoughts anyhow.
 
This is interesting. I currently use Aubiose but find it expensive with 3 big cages although it is very good and the cage floor and my puppy pads stay dry and in good shape for up to a week. It doesn't do much for smells tho :(
I've just bought a big bag of Equizorb for the first time so will have to try that out before I can try the Bed O Linum.
But if it saves a bit of money that would be fab!
Look forward to hearing people's reviews of it -c
