We have been using compressed oat hull pellets for litter for about eight
months.
 
Before that, we were using alfalfa pellets.  Both have the advantage of
being flushable.  But the oat hulls are more absorbent, and a *lot* cheaper.
It costs ten bucks for a fifty-pound bag.
 
The pellets are intended to be sold as small animal bedding.
 
I get them from a store here in Madison, Wisconsin called Mounds Pet Food
Warehouse.  Here is the entire text of the bag label:
 
Bedding Pellets (oat hulls)
La Crosse Milling Co.
Cochrane, WI 54622.
 
Hope this is helpful.  Let me know if the oat hulls work out for you.  We've
been using them since this summer, and it's worked out the best of anything
we've tried.
