🌬️ Low Dust & Gentle on Airways
Cork granules are naturally low in dust, making them a respiratory-friendly choice for small animals and helping keep enclosures cleaner and fresher.
🌿 Lightweight Texture for Enrichment
The soft, springy texture adds surface variety and sensory enrichment. It encourages natural exploration and provides a comfortable yet interesting ground layer.
🌳 Natural, Safe & Sustainable
Made from untreated cork bark, cork granules are non-toxic, splinter-free, and sustainably sourced — safe for small animals when used correctly.
💪 Ideal for Mixing With Other Substrates
Perfect for blending with paper bedding, soil mixes, coco fibre, or wood chips to create a more naturalistic and supportive habitat.
🧠 Encourages Natural Behaviours
Cork granules promote digging, foraging, and rearranging, helping stimulate natural instincts and reduce boredom.
⚠️ Not a Standalone Bedding
While comfortable underfoot, cork granules should be used as a substrate layer rather than soft nesting bedding. Pair with deep, cozy bedding for nesting and burrowing comfort.
