Kaytee Aspen Bedding
Kiln-dried aspen wood shavings, the safe shaving alternative to cedar and pine, which carry phenols that irritate small pets' lungs and skin.

Our take
Aspen shavings give off none of the aromatic phenols that pine and cedar release, which is what makes cedar bedding a real respiratory and skin irritant for small pets. Aspen looks and smells close to a traditional wood shaving bed while staying safe for everyday use, which suits owners who want something other than a paper-based bedding.
