i live in the uk and i dont really see many brands so i wouldnt know … um but im interested if its any good ill order it offline

I use yesterdays news and have never noticed this. Is it possible that you got the scented stuff? It has a blue ring if perfumed compared to the yellow on the bag that is scent free.

It wasn’t the dried residue you sometimes see in where they’ve peed? Like he could have peed outside the box and it’s just dried there?  Or peed over the back eddge and it’s run underneath the box and pooled infront of it?

I don’t know about it not being safe for rabbits. I use YN for my rats and they shouldn’t have the scented stuff, but rabbits aren’t as sensitive to that stuff as rats are (like pine and cedar, while not good for rabbits cause severe breathing problems and even death in rats more easily). I think that maybe you should try to find out what the scent is and then determine how safe it would be. Can you ask your petstore to order YN for you? I find it to be almost completely dust free and it might just be a solution for you or at least help a bit.

Yesterday’s news is safe – they do have a fragranced one too though so you have to make sure you get the unscented.

I don’t think the scented is not safe but the unscented is preferable.

All I have ever used is Yesterdays news. I won’t even try another brand. I love YN. It’s great, and have never had a problem, nor have I seen the fragranced one. ???

I have used YN when I am out of Aspen. If it says “Fresh Scent” then it is the scented kind. The other kind says “unscented”. I have accidentally picked up the scented kind worried that my bunnies would not use it, but I just topped it with hay and munchies, and they were fine with it.
It sure would be something though if this was the answer to the Mimzy’s problems. Keep us updated about that.

As far as the whitish stuff, I have never had that in relation to this litter. Hmmmm.

Since you know that Mimzy’s problem seems to be allergies, it does seem likely that some litters will be harder on him than others. It would be great if YN works for him, and I agree that you could get your pet store to stock it for you. They usually do for a regular customer. I would switch to unscented though.

I don’t know what the powder is, since Sammy rejected YN (talk about fussy), but I have often seen a powdery stuff in my Kleenex boxes. It may be a dusty byproduct of ground paper. Or perhaps it got moist, softened, then crushed underfoot. Watch to see if there’s any more now.

Has your vet discussed giving injection of penicillin? Is that an option for him?

Good to know you have the Penicillin option for in the future if it’s needed.

Avvy bunny:   It’s a little knitted figure.  I saved pix of about 5 different ones but I don’t remember from where!

  I think I can make out above its head “Demonstrative Bears and Friends presents TODD”  I had edited name out as it was too visible.  Perhaps it’s a craft magazine of sorts?

btw, as to your qu about clarity of avatars – try putting link to regular picture without resizing it.  It should resize itself.  It’s only when they are really big that they might not work.  The clarity seems to remain when pix are shrunk but not the other way round.  So if your avvy link is to a really small picture, it might actually be auto enlarging it and that’s when it becomes pixelated.
