Super Pet Small Animal Critter Litter, 4-LB

Just love this litter. Our Holland Lop drinks a lot of water in Hawaii, which would make the critter litter in the box turn to cement, as one reviewer noted. I put a layer of wood shavings in the litter box to soak up all the liquid and then put a thin layer of critter litter on top. We use a large corner litter box for our rabbit, so I usually add another layer of sawdust and critter litter on top the second day and clean the box on the third day. Originally we made our own litter boxes out of soda case boxes (husband drinks a lot of diet coke), and just threw the box away every few days, but got tired of making the boxes. You will need to scrub out the litter pan occasionally, but the wood shavings seem to keep the "cement" from forming. The smell is virtually nonexistent.

One thing, the bag is not rabbit proof. Our rabbit runs loose in the house and once I blocked one of the rabbit's favorite spots with a new bag of critter litter. She shredded it trying move the bag out of the way. The litter was easy to sweep up and put in the old bag.

This is perfect for my ferrets; we switched from Yesterday's News a couple of years ago. It doesn't smell when it's dirty, it isn't dusty, and my ferrets aren't tempted to play in it and fling it around (anymore!). An eight-pound bag lasts about a month (two ferrets and multiple boxes). Wish it came in bigger bags, though!

My two little harlequin rescue ratties learned to use the litter pan (a triangular shaped recycled milk carton cut down and fitting exactly into a corner, and filled with Fresh Step) in one trial, and I thought that was normal for rats, and I bragged about it. Then just for spice I got this new rattie, this pet-raised little blond, and she ruined everything--not only didn't learn, and peed and pooped everywhere she wanted to, but she got the other girls off track, too! So I got this litter. It did not change the situation at all, and it also has some undesirable attributes that ordinary clay litter like Fresh Step escapes: it dries, as other reviewers have mentioned, into a curious concrete bottom-gripper, not a scoopable clump, if any gets knocked out of the litter box the bits form ugly clay smears when you wipe across them in cleaning up, plus the other undesirable, the price. Nor did my ratties seem to prefer it over other kinds: I used several kinds, non-clumping borrowed from neighbors with cats, in trials, and varied the locations, and found no preferences among them, for ratties. I counted poop and felt quite the researcher. They did prefer one corner, but not one litter. That makes it an ordinary three stars for this 'special' litter, based on the weaknesses I listed.

For rat owners, that's not the end of the drama, of course. What did I do about the maddening loss of sanitation? I analyzed it and concluded that I had spent very much more time observing the harlequin ratties, as new pets, and 'caught' their every move, and reinforced the right ones probably more often than I realized (since I now know that rats like kind words and little pats very much, even more than a treat, when compared to dogs, and I realized they had gotten more than one trial of those kinds of rewards, and the one actual food reward, to learn to use the litter pan originally). So I began to watch the new rat especially and all of them in general, or let me say I learned to listen for the tell tale scritches when they were in the litter pan as well as watch for it more carefully, and I rewarded generously with all kinds of treats, both social and edible, and within hours Baby had begun to please, and the other girls were back on track.

So I conclude that success in litter training is in the careful observation and reward of desired behavior, not in the type of litter, and that as far as litter goes, this one ain't all that. Fresh Step, the clay type, controls smell better, is just as small for their little feet, and is of course cheaper. But it has little pieces of charcoal about the same size as rat poop, making it slightly more difficult to clean out than to throw out and start over. But since it does not smell, it can sit for a couple more days and you don't have to compulsively pick through it to make it last. I imagine there are even better kinds than Fresh Step, but for me the point has been, train, don't worry about the litter except to get the kind they don't eat.

I was using plain old kitty litter before I starting buying Critter Litter. I was such a mess it was almost not worth litter training. They would drag it around the cage and make a big mess. Now however, these stuff is perfect. It does just what I need. As for the litter becoming cement like yeah that does happen. It happens to a lot less of a degree if you add a good inch to the tray no just enough to cover the bottom. Just make sure you add enough and it is great. It's a little pricey but the amount of time and effort it saves me its worth it.
