Would this be okay for rats? One has respiratory issues.

Old question but figured I would answer further for others. This is very poor bedding for rats. Not paper bedding in general but this type of clumped up paper bedding. It retains moisture for way too long and breeds bacteria. Your rats will develop respiratory issues after you begin using this type of clumped up paper bedding. Aspen, fleece or normal paper bedding is best for rats. If you go with any loose bedding, I strongly recommend freezing it for a few days to kill any pests eggs. I also strongly recommend sifting out any loose bedding to remove as much extra dust as possible before use. Otherwise your rats will be sneezing a lot and can develop more serious respiratory issues. I only use fleece if I have another area available for paper bedding for them to dig around and play in as digging is one of their natural instincts.

Does this control oder good, and for how long?

Hello and thank you for your question. It does control odor well in my bunnies' litter boxes, but it depends on what kind of pet you have. If you could contact uscustomersupport@smallpetselect.com or 855-981-8080, we will be happy to better answer your question. Kindest regards, Jessica, Small Pet select

Ordered this for first time and when i opened it, it seemed like it had accumulated moisture in shipping. is that typical?how to dry? didn't smell bad

I have never had a problem with bedding or anything else from Small Pet Select, but I now order directly from them and absolutely love their personal service and rewards program. I don't know how to dry the bedding, but Jessica or anyone else there at SPS should be able to help you. Good luck!

If this is all paper, why is Aspen and other things printed larger than the product heading about being paper? I almost had a heart attack when it arr

I have NEVER gotten aspen or any other wood product (like shavings) in any of my paper bedding. Do not ever order the brown paper bedding...it is so dusty that when you use it a mask is mandatory. Guinea pigs are very susceptible to getting respiratory illnesses, it can kill them. Pine is the only wood shaving to be careful of. It MUST be kiln dried and then it is safe to use. Kiln drying removes the toxic oils from any wood shaving. If you are in doubt call the manufacturer and ask how their product is made. The life of your pet is worth the cost of a phone call!
