Soft on paws. Tough on odours. Great for the planet.

Just £0.39 per litre – based on 80L compressed size. Expands to approx. 150L of soft, breathable bedding once opened.

Key Benefits:

  • Safe & Soft – Comfortable for guinea pigs, hamsters, rabbits, rats & reptiles
  • Low Dust Formula – Shredded to reduce airborne particles and irritation
  • Eco-Conscious Choice – Made from recycled UK cardboard, fully compostable
  • Highly Absorbent – Locks in moisture and odours for a fresher enclosure
  • Low Mess & Easy Clean-Up – Naturally varied shred sizes for better airflow and drainage
  • Compressed Bale – Expands to line multiple cages or habitats

ShredEase bedding is designed with small pets — and their humans — in mind.

Made from recycled UK cardboard, this bale offers a low-dust, easy-to-maintain substrate that’s gentle on sensitive paws and excellent at soaking up moisture and reducing odours. The shredded texture allows for airflow and drainage, helping to maintain a drier, healthier environment for your pets.

While the strip size may vary slightly depending on the material feed, each bale is processed to prioritise pet safety, comfort, and performance. And although some cardboard may contain minimal, food-safe ink, it’s safe for use across a wide range of small animals.

It’s simple, sustainable, and thoughtfully made.

Burrowers, take note: For pets that love to burrow deeply (like gerbils), this bedding works best as a base layer. For guinea pigs, rats, and reptiles, it performs beautifully on its own.

Your review helps others—and earns you a thank-you discount too.

    “No dust, no smell, and our guinea pigs absolutely love it” — Bubba & Gilbert’s human

    When I opened the bale, I couldn’t believe how much was inside. No smell at all, and the texture was just right — perfect for both sleep and play. The packaging was great and easy to use.

    What stood out straight away was how effective it was. I’d been using finer shredded bedding before, but it didn’t absorb much and felt dusty. ShredEase has none of that. It covers more space, absorbs really well, and lasts much longer.

    Bubba and Gilbert were curious at first, having a good sniff, then they just relaxed into it. They love burrowing and seem really settled.

    A few days in, and I’m genuinely impressed — no smell, no dampness, and it’s easy to change. The texture makes it simple to handle and keeps everything feeling fresh.

    If you're thinking about switching, I’d definitely say go for it. It’s ideal for guinea pigs — clean, well-packed, low waste, and you end up using less because it works so well. I’ll definitely be ordering more.
