Flax is a cost Effective bedding due to its fantastic absorbency, this takes up more water/urine per cubic metre than most bedding and once established very small quantities are required to maintain a clean dry bed in your animals cage, being easy to remove just the wet or soiled bedding.
Flax is a natural flax of vegetable origin and biodegradable, so unlike wood based products, it breaks down very quickly to form a quality garden compost.
Because of the nature of the Flax plant it holds the ammonia odour in and most users experience little or no smell in their hutches.
We use this under a layer of chopped straw, barley straw or hay.
