Carefresh
Carefresh is a nice, soft bedding. Carefresh white is the type of bedding that is required to be placed in the show pens when you show your gerbils at gerbil shows. I like it, but can't afford it, so I mostly use it for the nests, or show pens.
Not recommended to be used with pups, particularly weaning pups. It is know to cause Respiratory Infections due to the dust.
