Why Hemp Bedding Is the Healthiest Choice for Your Small Animals

Whether you care for guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters, gerbils, rats, or ferrets, the bedding you choose directly affects their health, comfort, and overall happiness. Many traditional options—like pine or heavily processed paper—can be dusty, short-lived, or contain fragrances that irritate sensitive respiratory systems.

At Hurdz Hemp, we keep it simple: 100% natural hemp bedding that’s clean, comfy, and long-lasting—made for healthier pets and easier upkeep.

🌿 Gentle on Sensitive Noses

Hemp bedding is naturally low-dust and chemical-free. Unlike pine shavings, hemp doesn’t release aromatic oils or added scents that can bother small animals. Cleaner air means easier breathing and fewer sneezes—especially important for pets that spend most of their time close to the ground.

💧 Superior Absorbency = Drier, Cleaner Habitats

Hemp’s fiber structure absorbs moisture quickly and locks in odors instead of letting them sit on the surface. A drier enclosure helps discourage bacterial growth that can lead to skin irritation or respiratory issues—and it stays fresher between cleanings.

♻️ Longer Lasting, Less Waste

One of the biggest wins with Hurdz Hemp bedding is how long it lasts. While some bedding types need full changes every few days, hemp can go up to two weeks or more before a full refresh (depending on pet size and setup). That means less cleaning, less waste, and better value.

🌱 Safe, Sustainable, and Compostable

Hemp is a renewable crop grown with minimal inputs. Our bedding is biodegradable and compostable, breaking down quickly after use—so it’s kinder to the planet and your garden compost.

🐰 Comfort They Can Feel

Soft yet supportive, hemp creates a cozy surface for nesting, burrowing, and lounging. Pets love the natural texture—and you’ll love how clean and neutral the enclosure smells.
