A vital part of keeping rabbits, guinea pigs and other small furry pets happy and healthy is to make sure they live in a clean and dry environment. During the spring season and as the weather temperature begins to increase, this becomes even more important as flea, fly and mite populations increase along with the risk of health issues for pets.

Burgess Pet Care, makers of the UK’s No.1 Vet Recommended food for fibrevores, boast a revolutionary small animal bedding and litter specifically designed to keep pets dry, whilst preventing fly, mite and flea infestation.

With an added natural external parasite control to help limit the activity of pests, Burgess Excel Bedding & Litter is capable of absorbing up to four times its own volume and lasts ten times longer than traditional straw and shavings options.

Suzanne Moyes, on-site vet at Burgess Pet Care, said: “There are a wide range of external parasites whose ideal breeding ground is warm, wet bedding. These pests contribute to a wide variety of commonly seen ailments in small furry pets such as scaling and ulceration and they are often the cause of secondary bacterial infections. Keeping hutches and cages dry will help to deter them from breeding on or around pets.”

Burgess Excel Bedding & Litter has rapid rates of absorption, helping customers prevent the breakdown of urea to ammonia that is the characteristic bad smell of hutches and cages. The straw-based material breaks down to tiny dust free fibres that can be brushed to clean out hutches and cages and composts much  faster than other litter products and materials.

Burgess Excel Bedding & Litter has an RSP of £5.99 and comes in 4kg packs with carry handle.
