I beleive the carefresh ultra( the white one) is supposed to control oders better but I use the regular carefresh and it is great!

[I_<3_cavies]

[stitsy&codyPig]

Are you thinking of using carfresh?

[I_<3_cavies]

Yes I'm using Aspen for my two piggers but it doesnt absorb all their bussiness. So yes.

I use fleece mostly throughout my cage but I use carefresh and aspen in my potty areas. First I have a layer of aspen and then a layer of carefresh. I've tried just carefresh but I think it absorbs better with both.

Carefresh ultra has been treated to have less dust for those who suffer from allergies and some people have reported it's more absorbent. It's also more expensive. I didn't find carefresh to be anywhere near as absorbent as shavings and had to clean the cage out twice as often. I also don't have a washer/dryer here so using fleece on the whole cage didn't work for long. Right now I have wood pellets under shavings(all spruce) for the main 2x8 and 2x7 and fleece for the top levels.

I have both kinds of carefresh at home. The only difference I can tell is that the white one (ultra) is much softer and seems fluffier than the gray. But I don't think the price increase is worth the "softness".
