None of mine seemed to care at all.  Expect digging for a few days.
Unless you intend to dump the box daily, you'll need a litterscoop with
very small openings or solid.  Line the box with a thin layer only.  I
don't think brand matters, so long as they are unscented/unflavored.

A 40 lb.  bag lasts about 3 weeks for my 20 ferrets, with 6 litter boxes
changed twice a day.

Probably not.  The hardware store here carries it year-round.  As long as
it is kept dry, it will last.
