Flax Bedding for Rodents & Rabbits!

The Natural Pet Brand Flax N Flax Flax Bedding 20 Liters

The Natural Pet Brand Flax N Flax is a premium, very high-quality flax bedding made from carefully selected flax fibers. The Natural Pet Brand is known for its superior quality, and this is reflected in this bedding: natural, soft, absorbent, and practical for daily use.

At DRD, when it comes to flax bedding, we focus primarily on comfort, absorption, ease of maintenance, and the correct application for each animal species. Flax N Flax is particularly strong as a base layer for larger rodents and rabbits, as a top layer in natural enclosures, or as a mixed bedding for small burrowing animals. For hamsters, dwarf hamsters, mice, and gerbils, it is best to combine flax with a high-fiber base bedding so that the floor is better suited to burrowing and tunneling behavior.

Why choose Flax N Flax?

Flax N Flax is a natural flax bedding with a fine, soft texture. Flax is known as a practical material for animal enclosures: it feels pleasant to the touch, absorbs moisture well, and is easy to refresh locally. As a result, this bedding is well-suited for owners looking for a natural, organized, and low-maintenance floor.

The strength of flax lies primarily in the combination of softness and absorbency. For guinea pigs, rabbits, rats, and chinchillas, Flax N Flax is excellent as a base layer or in litter corners. For small burrowing rodents such as mice, dwarf hamsters, hamsters, and gerbils, flax is particularly beneficial as part of a mix, for example, together with cotton, hemp, wood fiber, cardboard, or hay for added structure.

This way, you don't just use Flax N Flax as filler, but as a deliberate layer in the enclosure. You can use it to create a soft floor, better manage wet spots, or supplement existing bedding with a natural, absorbent component.

For which animals is Flax N Flax suitable?

• Mouse: suitable as a mixed bedding or top layer. Because mice are social animals and should be kept with other mice of their kind, you can combine Flax N Flax with nesting material, hiding places, and a soft base bedding.
• Dwarf hamster: suitable as part of a mixed bedding. Combine flax with a deep, soft base bedding for more digging comfort and a natural setup.
• Hamster: suitable as a mixed bedding or absorbent layer. For Syrian hamsters, a deep, burrowable base remains important; flax can be nicely used as an additional layer or mixing material.
• Gerbil: suitable as part of a structure-rich burrow layer. Because gerbils are social animals and should be kept with other gerbils, preferably combine flax with hay, cardboard, and a sturdy base bedding.
• Dwarf Grate: suitable as a soft base layer, corner litter, or a layer in a digging box. Dwarf Grates can vary in size and behavior, so observe carefully how your animals use the bedding.
• Rat: suitable as a soft base layer, toilet/corner filling, or absorbent layer. For Ratscaping, you can use flax in hygiene zones or combine it with other materials in a digging box.
• Guinea pig: suitable as a soft, absorbent base layer. Because guinea pigs are social animals and should be kept with other guinea pigs, local cleaning is important to keep the enclosure fresh.
• Rabbit: suitable as a base layer or litter/corner filling. For rabbits, flax works well in litter corners or as a natural layer in the enclosure.
• Chinchilla: suitable as a dry, soft base layer or corner litter. Combine with the normal base of hay, sand bath, platforms, and gnawing material.
• Degu: suitable as mixed bedding or an absorbent layer. Because degus are social animals and should be kept with other degus, a spacious floor area with structure, a sand bath, gnawing material, and foraging opportunities remains important.

Use & maintenance

Distribute Flax N Flax evenly over the bottom of the enclosure. For larger animals, flax works well as a base layer. For small burrowing animals, it is preferable to use flax as part of a mix, so that the floor gains more structure and digging opportunities.

• Use a minimum of approximately 5 cm as a base layer for guinea pigs, rabbits, rats, and chinchillas.
• For mice, dwarf hamsters, hamsters, and gerbils, preferably use it as a mixed bedding with a deeper, textured base.
• Use in toilet corners or designated urinals for additional absorption.
• Regularly replace wet spots, toilet corners, and heavily soiled areas with fresh bedding.
• Replace the entire bedding when the base layer no longer stays fresh.
• Store the packaging in a dry and tightly sealed place.
• Check how your animal handles the bedding upon first use.

Base layer, top layer and mixed bedding

Flax N Flax is versatile in use. For guinea pigs, rabbits, and rats, you can use it as a soft base layer or in litter corners. For small burrowing animals, you primarily use flax as a mixed bedding: you mix it with another base bedding to add extra absorption, natural structure, and variety.

For hamsterscaping and gerbilscaping, Flax N Flax works best when combined with materials that provide more tunnel stability. Think of Cotton N Cotton, Cotton N Fibre, Cotton N Hemp, hay, cardboard, or another structure-rich bedding. This creates a base that is softer, more interesting, and more practical.

For rats, Flax N Flax fits well into a practical Ratscaping setup. Use flax, for example, in a toilet corner, underlay, or dry zone, and for digging boxes, optionally choose a mix of softer and textured materials.

Combine with other bedding

Flax N Flax works well with other bedding materials. By combining them, you can better tailor the bedding to the animal: softer, firmer, airier, or more absorbent.

• Combine with Cotton N Cotton for extra softness.
• Combine with Cotton N Fibre or Cotton N Hemp for more structure.
• Combine with hay or cardboard for more tunnel stability for burrowing animals.
• Use as an absorbent layer in toilet corners or designated urination spots.
• Use as a top layer when you want a natural, calm look.

Good to know

Flax N Flax is a premium natural flax bedding. Use it as a base layer, top layer, mixed bedding, or toilet/corner filling, depending on the animal species and the enclosure. For long-haired animals, flax can more easily get caught in the coat; in that case, it is preferable to specifically choose a coarser or more coat-friendly top layer if that is more practical.

• For small burrowing animals, preferably use mixed with a structure-rich base bedding.
• Use for guinea pigs, rabbits, and rats as a soft base layer or corner litter.
• Replace wet spots and toilet corners regularly.
• Remove heavily soiled or flattened parts when necessary.
• Combine with cotton, cardboard, hay, or other natural materials for extra texture.
• Store the packaging in a dry and tightly sealed place.
• Check the bedding for possible defects before use.
• Check how your animal uses the material upon first use.
