Crinkle as Nesting Material
The Fris Crinkle is very well suited as nesting material for small rodents and rats. Rats love to drag the Crinkle to their sleeping houses high in the enclosure. Another advantage for Rats is that the Crinkle is dry and absorbs moisture very well. Some rats sometimes pee on their sleeping spot, Crinkle can help keep it dry.

For small rodents such as Mice, Dwarf Hamsters, and Gerbils, the Crinkle is nice as nesting material in their holes. Here too it helps to keep the sleeping places dry.

Crinkle as ground cover for rodents and rabbits
Crinkle is much less suitable as a stand-alone ground cover. Although the absorption of the Crinkle is very good, the loose structure is not optimal as a basic bedding material. It could possibly be possible for larger rodents with an under layer. The bottom layer catches puddles that the Crinkle didn't catch.
