Fresh News Recycled Paper Small Animal Litter Bedding, 10 Liters

All good as expected

I recently switched to the Fresh News recycled-paper bedding for my little pet’s habitat and I’m very impressed. The soft paper pellets feel gentle underfoot and the low-dust nature is a major plus (I noticed less airborne dust compared to previous bedding). Highlights: The odor-control is noticeably better: the bedding absorbs moisture well and helps keep the cage smelling fresh. Maddie's Pet Products It’s environmentally friendly, which matters to me: recycled material, biodegradable when composted. Skilos, A Family Pet Store Very comfortable for my small animal (hamster/guinea pig, etc): soft so I feel good about them digging/sleeping in it. The 10 L size was a good fit for my setup — easy to handle, store, and change out. If you’re looking for a high-quality bedding option that’s comfy for your pet, friendly for your home (in terms of dust & odor), and better for the environment, I highly recommend this one.

The product itself it great. I use this exclusively for all my rabbits and have for years. It absorbs urine well and they're not tempted to eat it unless they're having some digestive troubles and even then they're okay to nibble a couple pieces. The biggest problem is that it's about half the price from a regular pet store. I had this on subscription to autoship every 2 weeks for my 3 rabbits, and the price just kept creeping up and up and up until I had to concede that the convenience of next day delivery was not worth double the price. It dropped back down to regular price a couple months ago and then it's just crept up to where it is again. Nonsense. When you factor in the profit margin the brick and mortar pet stores are making on this product (probably high its literally just paper) and then you factor in Amazon's 2x price... it ends up being what? 75-100%+ profit margin? Predatory. Predatory and obscene.

I’ve used several types of small animal litter over the years, and Fresh News has become my go-to. The recycled paper pellets are super absorbent and do a surprisingly good job at controlling odors—even after a couple of days in the litter tray. It’s also dust-free, which makes it safer and more comfortable for sensitive pets like rabbits or guinea pigs. What I appreciate most is that it’s made from 100% post-consumer recycled paper, so it’s an environmentally responsible choice without sacrificing performance. It’s lightweight, easy to scoop, and doesn’t track all over the place like finer litters. It’s a little pricier than traditional wood shavings, but the benefits in cleanliness and smell control make up for it. Overall, highly recommended if you want something that’s pet-safe, low mess, and eco-conscious.

Worked like a charm. Due to a veterinary procedure, I have to use pellet litter for a few days with my cats. Unfortunately, all that the local retail places carry is pine pellets. ALL of them. So I ordered this and during the wait used the pine. What a disaster. The older cat hesitated a bit, but after I took a clump out of the old litter and put it in the pine pellets, he went right them. The baby (well, 6 months...), however, wanted NOTHING to do with it. First he decided that his papers in his play area (I HAD several of the pop up tubes in a large circle, with the brown packing papers piled loosely in the middle) would be the perfect temporary toilet. So, all the papers came up and much steam vac'ing of the carpet. Then I thought he was using it because there was more usage in the pine. Nope, I found out this morning he was using the inside of his pop up tubing. What a smelly mess. So, throw away that smelly stuff... Thankfully within a couple hours THIS stuff was delivered. Let me tell you, what a lifesaver! Little Mr. Nosey was in there "helping" me with the change over, of course. No sooner had the paper pellets hit the box then he was in "christening" them in there new home. Perfect! Would recommend for anyone that has to use a temporary litter for any reason. The neutral smell seems to be much more attractive - it just smells like paper, and they go right in and do their business. Exactly what it was made for.
