Top 13 Alternatives to Cedar and Pine Shavings

Fiber Core Eco-Bedding

A paper based product, but this one is somehow formed through a process of cutting and folding strips of recycled paper. I haven't tried this one, but it is said to be soft and great for burrowing and nesting. I've seen mixed reviews on how absorbent the product it however. It might be a better option if used over one of the more absorbent pelleted products.

Pet's Preference Critter Litter and Bedding

A paper based pelleted product - similar to Yesterday's News. Comes in a pelleted form ("Original Texture" - good for litter boxes) and a looser fiber form ("Soft Texture" - perhaps better as bedding). Depending where you are it can be harder to find.

Woody Pet

This is a white softwood based product, but the manufacturer states that the processing removes 100% of the dangerous aromatic hydrocarbons (along with resins, oils, tars, acids and water). It comes in a granular form, which expands as it absorbs moisture and is said to be very absorbent.
