Have been doing some research on litters, below are some companies you might
want to look into.  Have a message to stove Chow folks.  (If you want to be
a dealer you must purchase 11 skids of 50 bags each during the summer and
22 pallets in the winter.)  Will keep you posted.
 
"Unlike pine and cedar shavings, these products contain notoxins.  Most of
these products, especially the pelleted litters, are most efficient if you
use only a thin layer.  Using a thick layer is wasteful.
 
You can order CareFRESH directly from the company.  Otherwise, ask your pet
supplier to order these products for you, or ask the company for a list for
local suppliers.

12 Krazy Ferrets in Kennesaw -- Waiting for the UPS man as they track their
new MW cage shelves on the internet.
 
BTW - I have not had Ferret inside stickers printed as it was posted that
someone had 800 available.  Hope they post them on advertising issue.  (We
made up one and it is on the window.)
