Compressed Bedding Pellets 23 kg, vitapol ZVP-1048

Compressed Bedding Pellets 23 kg from vitapol (model ZVP-1048) are pressed wood-based pellets designed as absorbent bedding for small pets and livestock. Supplied as a compact 23 kg block, the bedding pellets expand when spread and provide a dense, low-dust material intended to retain moisture and reduce odours compared with loose shavings. The product is suitable for use in cages, hutches, stalls and nesting areas where reliable liquid absorption and simplified cleaning are required.

Advantages

These compressed bedding pellets offer high absorbency and efficient moisture control while generating less dust than conventional loose shavings. The pressed form reduces storage space and makes transport and handling easier. Once expanded, the pellets form a stable layer that helps control odour and facilitates spot cleaning and bedding replacement. The composition supports basic hygiene in animal enclosures without added fragrances or unnecessary additives.

Suitable for

• Cages and hutches for rabbits, guinea pigs and small rodents
• Stalls and pens for poultry and small livestock
• Nesting areas and brood boxes for birds and small mammals
• Temporary bedding during transport or veterinary care

Key specifications

• Form: Compressed wood-based pellets that expand when spread
• Net weight: 23 kg per block
• Absorbency: High liquid absorption suitable for small animal enclosures
• Dust level: Lower dust generation compared with loose shavings
• Use environment: Indoor cages, hutches, stalls and nesting areas

How to use

Place the compressed block in a clean, dry area and break it up before spreading. Spread the resulting pellets evenly across the floor of the enclosure to form a layer appropriate for the species and enclosure size — typically several centimetres for small mammals and a thinner layer for poultry. Replace soiled bedding regularly by removing wet spots and adding fresh material, or fully replace the bedding according to the hygiene needs of the animals. Ensure adequate ventilation and avoid direct exposure to open flames or high heat sources.

Usage recommendations

For best results, remove heavily soiled areas daily and replenish with fresh pellets to maintain dryness and reduce odour. Store unopened blocks in a dry place to preserve absorbency. When used for very young, sick or immunocompromised animals, increase monitoring frequency and change bedding more often to maintain sanitary conditions.
