The perfect compliment to wood shavings and wood-chip bedding, Corn Cob Bedding’s wicking action absorption process keeps birds and small animals drier. Features include: natural, renewable resource made from ground corn cobs that dry from bottom up, leaving a dry surface for birds and small animals; used bedding can be safely composted; heat-treated bedding traps and absorbs odors and inhibits the formation of ammonia-forming compounds.
