Hemp Small Animal Bedding 100L

Hemp Small Animal Bedding

Hemp is suitable for all hoofed animals, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, reptiles, chicken and birds. Hemp bedding materials like Hemp are an entirely natural renewable resource grown without pesticides and processed without chemical additives. Hemp is biodegradable and will decompose into a quality mulch or compost because it originates from an annual plant. It is not palatable due to its limited nutrient content.

BENEFITS OF HEMP BEDDING:

Highly Absorbent

Hemp is capable of absorbing far more moisture than either straw or wood shavings, and any wet areas that do have to be removed are small by comparison. It makes a warm and comfortable bed that provides good insulation against cold and protection against injury.

Low Odour

Hemp also absorbs ammonia very efficiently, reducing its harmful effects on the respiratory system, and reduces odour.

Dust Extracted

Hemp Dust and spores are extracted from Hemp to provide a cleaner stable environment. This is particularly important for animals with a respiratory disease, but also helps to prevent such problems developing. Hemp is regularly batch tested for dust and spore counts by an independent laboratory.

Economical to Use

Less Hemp is needed to do the same job as other litters. With Hemp high absorbency, wet areas tend to be smaller and noticeably less often. It is easy to use and cost-effective.

Labour Saving

Hemp bedding or litter box is quick and easy to maintain, staying drier and lasting longer than conventional materials. It should be disturbed as little as possible, with the wet material removed as required.

Easy Disposal

Hemp creates only a small manure heap, which rots down into quality garden compost in just a few weeks. This compares very favourably with the long time it takes straw, shaving and particularly clay or diatomaceous earth, to decompose.

Environmentally Friendly

Is made from a sustainable source and is completely biodegradable. Great as garden mulch or compost.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. Is this hemp bedding heat-treated to kill germs?

A. According to the manufacturer of Hemp bedding, only pine wood shaving products require heat treatment to remove toxic hydrocarbon (phenols). Hemp does not have these harmful phenols and hence does not require this treatment. The heat treatment removes phenols from pine but does not remove germs.

Q. Is hemp suitable for horses?

A. Yes, it is suitable for horses.
