Harlan Teklad 7089 Diamond Soft cellulose bedding material is a unique laboratory animal bedding, consisting of specially-processed bleached hardwood paper pulp. This type of paper pulp is used extensively as a cellulose source in the manufacturing of many types of consumer paper products.

It is an excellent contact bedding material for all species of rodents, guinea pigs and small animals.
