 The right litter for pocket petsJul 06, 2009
By L. Macforrest
This litter is good for hamsters and young rats. My teenage rats are about to graduate to the larger "Critter Litter." There is almost no dust with this litter, unlike clay cat litter.
Even this small box of litter lasts a long time; most little animals can be persuaded to poop in their potties but they don't always urinate there, so the litter won't need to be thrown out and replaced very often.
Litter training thoughts:
1. Be sure the litter pan is big enough. Start with a very shallow pan plenty large enough for your pet to walk into and turn around easily. You can use a more space-efficient corner pan later when they are dedicated to using their litter. Having a pan that's too small is, I think, the major obstacle to training.
2. Put the pan in the corner of the cage that THEY want to use. You can try to change their minds later. If their instincts are insisting they use a particular corner, though, you'll have to go along with that.
3. Put a few "samples" in their litter pan to give them the idea, and many will train themselves right away. Keep putting all their mistakes into the pan and keep the rest of the cage very clean. Be happy if they use it MOST of the time!
4. VERY IMPORTANT - don't EVER use clumping litter with small pets. Many health risks!
5. AND - if you see your pet actually eating any clay litter, stop using it. Many will taste it the first time they see it, to find out whether it's food. If they keep eating it, remove it from the cage!

Works great with our rabbitSep 02, 2010
By Cody Ritts
This is by far the best litter we have used with our rabbit.
As long as you keep the litter box clean, there is NO odor at all. WAY WAY better than any of the paper products we tried.
We take a corner litter box, put about a cup full of litter in it, just enough to completely cover the bottom. Every two days or so, we have to dump the litter, and start fresh. The scooper is totally worthless for a rabbit. This litter is a type of clay, so the amount of urine that a rabbit produces quickly melts the pearls together.
HINTS:
cut down a puppy pad and put in the bottom of the litter pan to make easy cleaning (make sure it is totally covered, or it will probably get pulled out.)
Keep TWO litter boxes in case you wait too long to clean it, and have to soak it to get the dirty litter out.
If you are tired and dont feel like doing a full clean, but you cat smell the urine, just sprinkle a fresh layer of litter on top of the old stuff. It will get you by.
The only reason that I gave this product 4 stars is because they do not sell it in bulk. We go through about a bag a month, and I wish it could last longer.

Really love this litterOct 19, 2011
By PinkiePie
I was a skeptic, I will admit. I had a hamster years ago and never had to do any of the "cool" things being done now. However, I bought two dwarf hamsters for my kids and they actually use this litter! I didn't have to train them at all, I just added the outhouse and voila, it worked. Now, they may still "leak" every now and then, but when I cleaned their cage last weekend, there were no wet spots that needed scrubbing (like I used to have to do with my old one). I recommend this litter to any small pet owner.
One thing I was confused on is I bought the smaller, cheaper box of litter--which they are small pellets--but when I went for a bigger bag, thinking I could save money, the pellets were a bit bigger and the hamsters seem to not have used it. Not sure if I just didn't read the bigger bag right, or I got the bigger ones by mistake.
Either way, I am happy with this product and just bought 4 more boxes :)
EDIT: What happened with the price? Skyrocketed a bit, did it not?

Works great for my guinea pigsApr 24, 2011
By Chelsea
I use this litter for my guinea pigs and it works great. Just be sure to change it regularly, of course. If you leave it too long it becomes full of urine and turns into sludge that can gunk up your animal's nails. I have three guinea pigs, though only two use the litter box, and I change it every other day.

Great odor absorbent!Dec 07, 2010
By Mxy
This product is great for when you hamster urinates in it. There is practically no smell unless you leave it for a while. What I did was placed chinchilla dust into a disposable Tupperware with that is about 4x6~ big and let him play with the dust. It was one of his favorite places to go! Then he started to pee in it and that was when I slowly switched out the chinchilla dust for this. He didn't notice the differences cause he keeps on climbing into his little "sandbox" and digging like mad! Now when he needs to urinate, he always climbs into it and urinate in the corner. Since he only urinates in one side and digs on the other I usually will rotate the tupperware and he wouldn't notice it and starts peeing on the other side. What I found out is if you let it dry then you can really reuse it for a while so one of these packages last me more than 2 months.
My only complaint is if you don't rotate it and it gets super saturated with his urine, it can smell REALLY bad. So i find that on cold weeks I have to actually throw out the pellets cause it can't dry in time. Other than that it's great!
My hamster will wake up mid day and climb up to the 2nd story to get to his sand box to pee then climb back and go to sleep, it's great!
