Overview
Oxbow Eco Straw is a wheat straw pellet litter in a 20 lb bag, made in the USA and marketed as low dust. It is intended for small animals such as rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets, hamsters, gerbils, chinchillas, rats and mice, and is also listed for cat litter use.
Wheat straw pellets are the distinguishing material here rather than clay or wood, aimed at moisture wicking with less dust than traditional clay litters, which matters for small animals with sensitive respiratory systems living in enclosed cages. The unscented formulation avoids the added fragrances some small pets are sensitive to. Listing it for both small animal bedding and cat litter is broad, but the pellet form and wheat straw material stay the same across either use.

Who it's for
Owners of guinea pigs, rabbits, ferrets and similar small animals who want low-dust, moisture-wicking bedding, and cat owners willing to try a wheat straw pellet litter instead of clay. Not for owners specifically wanting a clumping clay litter.
Pros and cons
- Low dust pellet form
- Moisture wicking wheat straw material
- Made in the USA
- Not a clumping litter for cat box scooping
- Pellet texture differs from finer clay litters
Performance notes
The pellets are formed from wheat straw and designed to wick moisture away while producing less airborne dust than clay-based litters, the main advantage claimed for enclosed small animal cages. It ships unscented, so odor control relies on moisture-wicking action and regular cage cleaning rather than added fragrance.
