If you cannot get it from a main supplier, a great place to pick a large sack up from is a saddle shop, they usual keep it, as its main use is for horses. I got a massive sack for £4.90 and its already proving better than shavings, of which a loave anyways. I used to use a card board like material, cannot recall the name, buy that beats everything, no smells and you cannot even see the poops! But you cannot get that anywhere which is a big shame. But the megazorb is the next best thing!
 
Charlene the cardboard type material that you mentioned, is it FINACARD by any channce? I know FINACARD works very well and is very comfortable and virtually no dust. It is available by mailorder.
 
Hey,

Its the best! No dust, no smells, comfy for your piggy and lasts longer than any bedding I can think of. ;D
 
I've just ordered myself some megazorb from Farmway - never tried it before so looking forward to something new. Really like Carefresh but its too expensive for what you get. Been using woodshavings recently and I absolutely hate them!
 
I have finally tracked some of this down and brought 2 big sacks full today can't wait to start using it! O0
 
I don't use it for the piggys, but I use it for my hamsters - does that count? ***** 5 stars, I love it. It's so abzorbant, it really keeps the smell down.
 
Hi all!

Do any of the chain store pet shops stop Megazorb? Like petsathome or places like that?

Thanks xx

Best place is your local saddle shop! very expensive online, not worth all that.
 
i wouldnt use it cos i dont like the sound of it, it sounds like its just bits of cardboard 98). i stick to megazorb, which is definately my fav bedding O0
 
Finacard is certainly better than megazorb, trust me! it last longer, smells better and my pigs preferred it to graze on. All megazord is wood pulp, so nothing wrong with card. I say if you can get it, do. Plus it no where near as messy. I am not a salesman, lol. But its good stuff.
 
Love megazorb!
Smells like cake :smitten: :smitten: and it absorbs everything very very very very well! :)
 
Megazorb is by far the best bedding I have tried and its really cheap, I can get a big sack from my local horse supply shop and it only costs £5.60.
 
Thanx to those who replied to my enquiry about Liverpool stockists....My nearest one is Wilson Road so I'll be trying to persuade my hubby to take me there asap
 
I have been using Megazorb for a few months now and I think its fantasic! I dont get that horrible urine dirty smell when the pigs needed cleaning out and I think it lasts a bit longer than shavings, usually 2/3 days.

Best bedding I've used

I really like Megazorb but most importantly - so do my piggies! I used to use carefresh but it was so expensive for my 6ft x 4ft hutch that i was spending over £25 a week. I get megazorb from a horse supply place locally.

I don't find that it smells and I don't find it dusty. My guineas are fine with it. no dry skin or anything. it's the best bedding I've used, and the most economical.
 
I really want some megazorb but can't find it anywhere! I am using combination of carefresh and vetbed at min and want to try megazrob instead as cheaper but can't find any in my area!

Try www.thehayexperts.co.uk - always good service and quick delivery.

Obviously you have to pay postage though, but lots of other items available on this website for guinea pigs so you can order other things as well for a combined postage charge.
 
Highly recommended

Megazorb is the best bedding I have found. It is very absorbent and less dusty than alternatives. It is a bit like Carefresh but more fine (Carefresh can have quite large granules) and is loads cheaper. I buy mine from an equine supplier for £7 for a sack which lasts ages.
I always dig out wet patches and droppings at least twice a day. I use a dessert spoon and bowl which I keep by the cage and a small bucket with lid for the soiled litter which I empty every other day. I only throw all the bedding away once a week so I can disinfect the cage but the cage never looks dirty or smells. Also, I don't put newspaper underneath as it is unnecessary and it makes spot cleaning easier as no urine is left in cage.
Go for it if you are considering it. Previous post mentions The Hay Experts who supply on line and I have used them for other things and they were excellent.

I used to use megazorb for the hamsters before, it's really good and doesn't smell a single bit. Stopped using it now though as the hamster don't like it.

Four stars ****
 
I got a sack of Megazorb yesterday and will try it out today, will let you all know how I get on but it was only £8.50 for a huge sack ..... watch this space!
 
I found my stockist from that site - it is about 20-25 miles away but I got 3 bales last time so cheaper to go there than have it delivered from the makers!
 
i went off this but now loving it again after about 6 weeks of fleece / vetbed. The stuff i got was frankly rubbish as has quite a lot of wet patches as was kept in open ended barn so need to find a better stockist. Saying that I have thrown about 1/4 of each bag out and they still last about 6 weeks a bag!

I still love the ease of it but worry about even using the dry bits as the wet bits look really dark, will be just water but kinda puts you off.

I wonder if there is anyway further a field I can get a better batch from?
