I don’t think they would recommend any litter or wood stove pellets for consumption so that’s a standard warning. I think you will find the cuts on these not to be very regular however once they get wet they will turn to sawdust and unless he likes to hang out too in the litter box I wouldn’t worry to terribly much.

Yeah, if you soften them slightly with water they’ll turn into pellet dust, which should be softer on his feeties Otherwise, you can cover it with a thin layer of hay, Carefresh or newspaper.

I put a good layer of hay on top and just add a bit hay each feeding. You build up a soft layer pretty quick. I don’t use a lot of pellets, just a scoop but it sure makes a big difference in the smell and absorption.

I’m using wood pellets that are for horse bedding in mine right now and I don’t actually put the hay IN the litter box but I hang their hay baskets right above them and they inevitably drop some into it and so I just leave it there and it eventually makes a layer of hay there within a day or two.  They seem to do ok with them even without hay in them now that they’re used to them though.  At first they seemed a bit unsure of the texture but now they’re fine.

I would do less pellets Barbie… I put down a layer of newspaper first, and then 1 scoop of pellets (I use a large, old drinking glass for a scoop). The pellets spread out into a single layer and I can still see the newspaper underneath. The pellets expand VERY quickly when they get wet, by the time I change the box (3 days later on average), it’s almost halfway filled with pellet sawdust. That’s the great thing about WSP, a teeny tiny bit goes a long way.

My mini rex has calloused hocks (she always has) and after using the WSP for going on a year this winter, her hocks look the exact same. They don’t spend a lot of time lounging in their boxes…

I put a layer of newspapers on the bottom, thin layer of pellets, and then sprinkle shredded paper on top.  That’s what I do for Sandy’s but for Archie and Gracie I do newspaper, shredded paper and pellets sprinkled on top (more in the corners where they usually pee).  For some reason I did it the first way for them and they kept digging at the paper so that wasn’t working.  Just have to experience with it.  But I save so much money with the pellets!

I use newspapers along the bottom- and then a layer of paper- technically I am “recycling” it since it only would have been thrown away at work.  We had a box of incorrect reminder cards that would have been thrown away- so I snagged them to use for my parrots to chew up and to line bunny litter boxes.  So after the newspaper and paper- I add about 3 scoops of wood stove pellets and then a small handful of hay.

The litterboxes are under the hay bins and Schroeder always digs all his hay out into his litterbox.

I use something like Fresh and Comfy (it’s something and Comfy)

recycled newspaper and baking soda for the odor.

Gizmo loves it, but only (this is the funny part) if i get the blue one.

If i buy the grey one by accident or they don’t have the blue he will empty the entire litter over on itself.

buy the blue and he will sit in there as happy as can be.

that’s really a interesting read! thanks for posting that!
