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.
✔ Premium bedding made of colored egg carton pieces
✔ Superior quality from The Natural Pet Brand
✔ Soft, airy, and pleasant as a playful top layer
✔ Ideal for hiding food, herbs, or snacks
✔ Suitable for foraging, sniffing, digging, and exploring
✔ Cheerful colors for hamsterscaping, gerbilscaping, and natural enrichment corners
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.
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.
| Animal / use | Recommended low | Function |
|---|---|---|
| Mouse / dwarf hamster | approx. 5–10 cm | Topsoil, sniffing layer, and foraging layer. |
| Hamster / gerbil | approx. 5–10 cm as a top layer | Scaping accent, foraging layer, and extra structure on top of base bedding. |
| Rat | approx. 10–20 cm or > 30 cm in excavator bucket | Top layer, ratscaping, nesting material or burrow filling. |
| Guinea pig / rabbit | approx. 10–20 cm as play or top layer | Sniffing layer, digging bucket, or foraging layer. |
| Chinchilla / degu | approx. 10–20 cm as play or top layer | Dry topsoil, excavator bucket backfill, or enrichment zone. |
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 .
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.
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.
Card N Egg consists of colored pieces of egg carton. The value of this product lies primarily in the soft, open paper texture and the cheerful colors. This gives the enclosure more volume, playfulness, and search possibilities, while the whole thing also immediately looks visually more appealing.
Card N Egg is a premium egg carton bedding with a playful texture. Use it as a top layer, nesting material, foraging layer, or digging box filling. The correct layer thickness, ventilation, layout, and cleaning routine together determine how well the bedding works in practice.

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.
