Well, we did it now....we changed to the wood stove pellets yesterday. I
used a trick that was suggested and put in a few pieces of wet clumps and a
few poops. The first thing they did was....naturally started digging
tunnels. I only had about a 1 1/2" layer in the box. All 4 were having fun
until...WAIT! Pogo dug his tunnel right into the goodies I left for him and
turned right around...hissed at the other 3 and proceeded to go potty! I
guess he wanted his privacy, right? haha After he got done....the other 3
went too. They normally go potty right next to the box on a paper towel. I
only have one box for them which is hooked to their cage (I use a second one
for the insert) and then in front of that (another corner) is where the
paper towel is. They all are real good about just using those 2 places.
Well, this morning I was in for a major shock! I was doing the first of 3
cleaning sessions (per day) and the whole box was full and mostly saw dust.
Not a single smell! And the best part was....not a single drop of anything
was on the paper towel! So I took the whole box full and dummped it and
started out with a fresh batch. There was no smell at all. I will never
use sand again! These wood pellets are extremely cheap so I'm convinced.
Are you?
Cheers, chuckles, dooks and a howl from the crew......

busy to pay attention), May-wee (such a frail wee little baby girl but
fiesty!), Pogo (mama calls me Bubba cause I'm a real CHUNK!), Lobo (the
Guard Wolf) and their mama too!
