The wet bedding tends to clump together rather than spreading and this makes spot cleaning much easier. How often does hemp bedding need cleaning out? After watching one of her top performance horses, Bokai, struggle with respiratory issues, international showjumper Catherine Tyree wanted to do anything possible to help him live a better life. After some research, she found that using a high quality bedding was one of the best ways to create a healthier environment and prevent further issues for Bokai. That is when Tyree found Aubiose. With the difference it has made for the 16-year-old KWPN gelding, Aubiose has become a staple product in her barn. She is now joining forces with Aubiose and Chanvra Materials to spread the word about this incredible product.

The hemp plant grows faster than trees making it a lot more sustainable than the wood and paper based bedding. Is hemp bedding safe for guinea pigs? Managing an Aubiose bed is different than any other bedding material. It is essential to deep litter this bedding for a cost effective performance. With the deep litter method, once you setup your stalls, you do not strip them. You only take out small amounts of bedding at a time, and top up with fresh Aubiose, as described in our usage guide. Once you get your deep litter base set up, you only need to add about a bale per week maximum to each stall. Setting up the base is the initial investment and the greatest expense, but with proper management you will only need to do this once!Probably the most absorbent bedding money can buy. Aubiose is a completely different type of bedding and should provide you with savings in time and labour if it is managed properly. The bedding works by soaking up liquids in a small area, at the base of the bed. The capped layer that forms over this saturated material reduces the chance of wet bedding being mixed in with the dry. The top layer of the bed remains warm, soft and dry for the horse.

The ChanvraPet Hemp Mat is a nesting medium made from the hemp fibers of the Aubiose hemp. The fibers (which are the outer layer of the hemp stem) behave differently than the pure hemp hurds in our Aubiose hemp (which is the inner core of the hemp stem). Using these mats together with your Aubiose hemp is a good combination, particularly for nesting animals, like rats, who can use the hemp fibers to make nests. Many of the nesting materials on the market are made from toxic materials, but with ChanvraPet’s hemp mat you know that your pets have a safe material to sleep on and make nests; as you know, our hemp is grown to the highest standards of ecological quality in the world, using no chemicals. And if your rat accidentally swallows pieces of the mat, it is safe for them. The hemp has an unpleasant taste to it which most pets don’t like. This is beneficial because it means you guinea pigs won’t try to eat it as they tend to do with wood and paper alternatives.
