Litter

[Deleted User]

So I bought “potty training pearls” for Boston’s litter box and they work all great and good, but I don’t live near a pet store or anything to get more on a regular basis. Is there any thing else that I can use for litter that is more money friendly, or eco-friendly?

ok here come the don’ts never use pine or pine scented unhealthy for them   ok aspen is good  it is highly recommended and Yesterdays News is eco friendly is made from recycled newspapers and puffs up when it absorbs too. hey you can go online and order it put in petsmart or petco or whoever you use and know  and see if you can order online usually you can.

I tried to do some research on the potty training pearls from critter litter and couldn’t find out much about what’s actually in the litter – so it makes me a bit wary. As bunnytowne recommended – it’s very important to steer clear of soft wood shavings – especially pine since it can be dangerous for bunnies . Also clay or corn cob based litters are not safe.

here are some bunny safe litters:

Ecostraw from oxbow
Critter Country
Yesterday’s News
Carefresh
Aspen Supreme

you can also use hay as litter. Another option is to buy wood stove pellets (don’t pick premium kind) from a hardware kind of store – since they’re very cheap, I think a 40 pound box is under $6. Although they were cheap, I didn’t care for them since they turn into messy sawdust once they get wet.

I personally use aspen supreme since it is awesome with eliminating odor.

Where could I find Aspen Supreme?

I do believe the potty training pearls are made from “100% natural bentonite”…the package says it is a pure, non toxic inert clay material….if that helps!

also, if i end up us=ing the newspaper, do i shred it up first?

Thanks you guys! =)

Believe it or not I actually get my Aspen Supreme pellets from “The Tractor Supply Store” Maybe u have one near u… Or maybe that’s just a southern chain store. Also I’ve seen some pellets in the ever popular Wal’Mart, but didn’t pay attention to the brand. I don’t know if all pellets are the same or not but I’m sure one of these nice people would be able to help u with that.

well, I know clay litters are not good for bunnies – so I’d likely stop using the pearl kind.

Aspen supreme is available also at many stores online and stores like petco. Perhaps you can pick it up during times that you’re near a larger city?
