Bedding
 
Currently, i am using two 35 litre bags of breeders celect a week and i hope to decrease my cost of bedding..Hence i'm thinking of switching brands but am still trying to figure out which brand is better in terms of

1)Absorbancy
2)Odour control
3)Dust
4)Cost

Here are some of the brands that i have heard of...has anyone used them before? Please give your comments etc and if there are any bedding that i have not listed, feel free to add to the list. Thanks!

1) Dr Harry's
2) Oxbow eco straw
3) All pet pine
4) Woody pet bedding
5) Cat's best
6) Daily Scoop - think this id from Hagen?
7) Swheat scoop
8) Pet's preference
9) Pet Nature
10) Wood shavings

Maybe you would like to try Dr Harry? It's much cheaper and works the same as Bc cat litter. Only thing is that it's harder.

I tried Woody Pet before.... don't like the smell coz it has a very strong wood smell, made my room stink of the bedding. But it absorbs very well.

I tried woody pet before too and also dont like the smell.

I have tried many type of bedding but still prefer Cats Best.

eh ............. i use newspaper :bigsmile: the most economical ... i change every other days. once i saw Rain tearing the newspaper through the flooring, hence, i changed the whole set of newspaper and scotched taped it. It works marvelous. heh heh ... the BC is only used in the glass tray for their pee which i change 3/4 every other day. :p

I am using Cats Best. I sieve them every nite and re-use those tat are still dry, and top-up with new ones when necessary.... I find tat Cats Best is better than BC... Better in odour control.... :)

Cat litter is known to clump. Cats, unlike small animals, just use the litter box and get out, these small animals excrete and stays in the litter, the litter will clump onto their feet. Pine and cedar beddings contain oils and aromas which will damage the animal's lungs.

Hi all,
thanks for the replies. Think i'll try cat's best one of these days :)

William: We use the non clumping, small animal safe cat litter so it's okay for them...
