i think it is good but expensive. i am trying my ferret on it, as lately he has been scratching alot and had really bad skin. since switching to care fresh he has stopped scratching so much and his skin is a lot better. i think he must have developed an allergy to sawdust. i am going to try him for a month on care fresh and see how he goes. but so far so good. it is expensive though. i ceratinly couldn't afford to use it on the piggies aswell, because i go through a pack everytime i clean my ferret out.

i would give it 4 stars as it is expensive :)
 
since day one I have only used carefresh, yes it is pricey but does a great job!

I'm not sure Bramble if you can get it in bigger bags but you could alway buy in bulk (comes in box of 6) at your local pet shop and ask for a discount seen as you are spending £45 a week!
 
I got fleece and it didn't do as well as I thought. Bought some bright pink Carefresh and have been very pleased. Several of the small packages for my C&C cage, will stock up if I see it on sale.
My piggy cage is in the living room and so naturally I don't want either smells or the sight of poops on top of fleece, and with the Carefresh, everything looks and smells clean.
I give it 4 stars, would give 5 if it cost a little less. ****
 
Carefresh in the US

I love the odor control but the expense and I found out tonight that the little bags are too small for our cage. We have it in up to 60L sizes... runs about $25 / £16.01 . Does keep the smell down. (I use swheat scoop in my kitties litter boxes and am beginning to wonder if the care fresh would work there too to control the odors) It is messy though.
SO I give it 4****
 
I don't understand the various comments abiout Carefresh being "dusty" - it's dust free, which is the main selling point!

I love it, but the price has increased substantially in the past few months (and it wasn't cheap to begin with!).
 
I just started using it as I heard it's good bedding for new mums and babies.
The cage doesn't smell nearly half as bad but it is expensive!
€7.50 for a 10l bag that would last me about two weeks :(
As soon as the babies are weaned I'd say I'll be back to my trusty shavings
 
I switched to this about a month ago, and have just finished my first bag. It's very good and doesn't fly all over the place because the 'granules' are quite big. It's very easy to clean up (doesn't stick to the cage) and has really excellent odour control. It does have an odd smell fresh out of the bag but this goes away after a few hours. I'd keep using it but it's too expensive, so for that reason I give it a 4. I've got a bag of Megazorb to try next!
 
I Love Carefresh! It is the best product I have been able to find here in the US. I can get it in 60 Liter Bags for around $16 -US (when I buy it online with coupon codes - In the store it runs arond $20-22)

I have found a little trick to make it last longer with regard to the smell... I take some baking soda and mix it in with the carefresh. It has REALLY helped! I am getting almost another week of "freshness". I only have one piggy per cage (since they decided "not to be friends" anyone) so I change each cage about every 1 1/2 -2 weeks with spot cleaning inbetween. I split the 60L bag between both the cages and it works out to be a perfect amount.
 
I got a 60 litre bag from pets at home for £20.99 or thereabouts which makes it cheaper than buying it from the above mentioned website which when you add the postage and packaging makes it over £22.
 
I wish this stuff wasn't so expensive as it's mint. Found a site selling it for £13, and if you spend more then £29 postage is free. It's the best I've seen.
 
0 stars.

AWFUL. Very dusty, made me sneeze. Too expensive.

I do not see why people rate it so highly compared to woodshavings!
