It's not for everyone. But it suits me and my setup.
The shredded paper was the best I've ever used but it ended up getting dragged out of the kennel and was finding it all over the garden, it found its way everywhere. Front garden, in the motor. Was finding it for months.
This chopped straw seems to stay in the kennel better. They don't eat it. It's very absorbent, warm and can go a couple of weeks before it needs changing.
Try it. Only way to find out if you like it or not.
We have this type of stuff at work , scented with eucalyptus.. We have chopped straw and chopped straw/s
