The Natural Pet Brand Card N Egg 20 Liter
The Natural Pet Brand Card N Egg is a premium, very high-quality bedding made from colored pieces of egg carton. The Natural Pet Brand is known for its superior quality, and this is reflected in this playful bedding: soft, airy, absorbent, and ideal for allowing animals to actively search, sniff, dig, and forage.
At DRD, when it comes to bedding, we look not only at intake but also at its function within the enclosure. Card N Egg is particularly strong as a top layer, play layer, foraging layer, or digging box filling. You scatter the colored egg carton pieces on top of an existing base bedding or use them in a separate enrichment box to provide your animal with more variety, structure, and activity.

Why choose Card N Egg?
Card N Egg is a bedding material with a clear enrichment function. The pieces of egg carton add volume and structure to the floor, ensuring that animals do not just walk on a flat layer, but actually have something to move through, search in, and occupy themselves with.
The open paper structure of egg cartons makes the material airy and soft. This makes Card N Egg very suitable as a playful top layer on top of cotton, hemp, flax, wood fiber, paper, or another base bedding. The base bedding then provides comfort and absorption, while Card N Egg adds extra structure, color, and foraging value.
Card N Egg is extra fun for animals that love to forage. Scatter a little food, herbs, seeds, or snacks throughout, and your animal will really have to sniff and work to find the treats. This immediately turns the bottom of the cage into an active foraging spot.
For which animals is Card N Egg suitable?
- Mouse: suitable as a playful top layer, sniffing layer, and foraging layer. Because mice are social animals and should be kept with other mice of their kind, you can create multiple small foraging and nesting spots.
- Dwarf hamster: suitable as a top layer in a hamsterscaping enclosure. Sprinkle small amounts over the base bedding or use it in a foraging corner.
- Hamster: suitable as a playful top layer and foraging layer. For Syrian hamsters, it is best to combine Card N Egg with a deep base bedding in which they can really dig.
- Gerbil: suitable as a top layer, nesting material, and burrow filling. Because gerbils are social animals and should be kept with other gerbils, it is best to combine the egg carton layer with a sturdy base layer, hay, tunnels, and gnawing material.
- Dwarf rat: suitable as a top layer, sniffing layer, nesting material, or digging box filling. Dwarf rats can vary in size and behavior, so adjust layer thickness and quantity to your group.
- Rat: very suitable as a top layer, nesting material, foraging layer, or Ratscaping burrow filling. For rats, this mix is especially fun when you hide food or snacks in it.
- Guinea pig: suitable as a soft, practical top layer or sniffing layer. Because guinea pigs are social animals and should be kept with other guinea pigs, you can create multiple foraging spots.
- Rabbit: suitable as a top layer, digging box material, or playful foraging layer. For the daily basics, hay, toilet bedding, and suitable bedding remain important.
- Chinchilla: suitable as a dry top layer or enrichment zone. Combine with hay, sand bath, platforms, and gnawing material.
- Degu: suitable as a top layer, digging box filling, or playful foraging layer. Because degus are social animals and should be kept with other degus, you can combine the material with sturdy bedding, a sand bath, platforms, and gnawing material.
Use & maintenance
Card N Egg can be used in various ways. As a top layer, it provides extra texture and color on top of existing bedding. As a foraging layer, you hide small amounts of food, herbs, or snacks inside. As digging box filling, you use a deeper layer in a separate bin or zone.
- Use approximately 5–10 cm as a top layer for small rodents.
- For rats, guinea pigs, rabbits, chinchillas, and degus, use approximately 10–20 cm when you really want to create a play or foraging layer.
- Use a wider layer for a digging box so that animals can really search and dig in it.
- Optionally, scatter herbs, food, or snacks through it for extra foraging fun.
- Regularly replace wet spots, toilet corners, and soiled areas with fresh material.
- Refresh the entire layer when it no longer stays fresh.
- Check how your animal handles the bedding upon first use.

✓ How many Card N Eggs do you need?
With this calculator, you can quickly estimate how many liters of bedding you need. This variant contains approximately 20 liters per package.
Formula: length × width × layer thickness in cm ÷ 1000 = number of liters of bedding.
| Dwelling / box | 5 cm layer | 10 cm layer | 15 cm low | 20 cm low |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 60 × 40 cm | 12 liter | 24 liter | 36 liter | 48 liter |
| 80 × 40 cm | 16 liter | 32 liter | 48 liter | 64 liter |
| 100 × 50 cm | 25 liter | 50 liter | 75 liter | 100 liter |
Example: a 60 × 40 cm tray with a 10 cm Card N Egg requires approximately 24 liters. One 20-liter package therefore comes pretty close to providing a playful top layer or sniffing filling. Also view all bedding and nesting materials .
Top layer, forage layer and digging bucket
Card N Egg is particularly effective as a play layer. Scatter the egg carton pieces on top of a base bedding and hide small pieces of food, herbs, or snacks inside. Your animal will then really have to search, dig, and sniff. This makes the enclosure more active and interesting without having to immediately replace the entire bedding.
For small rodents, you can use Card N Egg as a top layer in a hamsterscaping or gerbilscaping enclosure. For rats, the mix fits very nicely in a Ratscaping digging box, nesting box, or foraging zone. For guinea pigs, rabbits, chinchillas, and degus, Card N Egg is especially fun in a separate digging box or sniffing corner.
Combine with other bedding
Card N Egg works very well on top of an existing base layer. For example, use a soft cotton bedding, hemp, flax, wood fiber, or paper/cardboard as a base and finish with Card N Egg as a playful top layer. This way, you combine absorption, comfort, and enrichment in one enclosure.
- Use Card N Egg as a top layer on top of cotton, hemp, flax, wood fiber, or paper bedding.
- Combine with hay or extra cardboard for more nesting and digging structure.
- Hide food or snacks between the egg carton pieces for foraging.
- Use a separate digging box when you want to stimulate targeted play and searching behavior.
- Create clear zones: sleeping, digging, toilet, sand bath, foraging, and resting.

voor mij niet meer oogt slordig
prijs kwaliteit is okay. grote verpakking dat is ook handig als je een groot hok hebt. het is lekker zacht en het hok ziet er lang fris uit.
Ik gebruik het graag. Het is goedkoper dan Carefresh. Wel zijn het nogal grote stukken, zouden wel wat fijner gemaakt mogen worden.
Apart geurtje. Voor de rest lijkt het op Carefresh maar groffer. Prima maar ik verkies toch Carefresh.
Ik vind het best een goede bodembedekker: het lijkt op Carefresh, maar dan veel groffer. Ik gebruik het als bodemlaag en daarbovenop gooi ik een dikke Carefresh om tunnels in te maken. Dat scheelt toch behoorlijk in de kosten, aangezien het de helft van de prijs van Carefresh bedraagt. Een nadeel vind ik de geur, maar dat ruik je alleen als je je neus in de kooi steekt. Nu er Carefresh bovenop zit, ruik ik het eerlijk gezegd amper. Het absorbeert wel goed. Ik gebruik het nu pas een aantal weken, maar tot nu toe vind ik het dus wel een goede bodembedekking t.o.v. de meeste anderen.
