Had to stick my comments in with this one.  I must have tried every single
possible ferret litter idea out there and was never fully happy.  Someone
suggested the rabbit chow/alfalfa pellets about a year and a half ago.  I
have never used anything else since!  The absorbation is great, and to me
the advantages are numerous.  Remember I am both a hobby breeder and a
shelter, so everything from litter training kits who eat everything to old
folks to abuse cases.  I love the fact that even if they ingest it, who
cares?  it gows right through the system.  I have never once had a single
allergic type reaction since using it.
 
And I must agree with Troy Lynn... I LOVE the smell, like freshcut hay...
very country fresh and it really does a good job covering the natural
*aroma* without perfumes or additives that may be harmful.  I would never
sacrifice quality for cost, but being a shelter, let's be practical, money
IS a factor.... I get the pellets at feed stores here at 50# sacks for $8!
That is great for our budget!
