Hi everyone, It's been a long time since I've read my FML. I hope everyone and their fuzzies are doing great! I have a dilemma about ferret litter. If this has been discussed recently, I apologize for being behind. I found a wonderful paper clumping litter by Cat's Pride about a year ago that another ferret owner told me she used. I love this stuff. I have asked a veterinarian if it is safe and she said since it is paper and does not expand when wet then it shouldn't cause intestinal obstruction in my fuzzies. This litter is great and the smell in our ferret room is not stinky like when we used regular non-clumping clay litter. Well, it's getting harder to find this litter in my area so I called the company Oil Dri Co. which produces the Cat's Pride and they told me of some other stores where I could find the litter. I was thinking that I probably should have a back-up clumping litter in case I can't get this litter anymore. I saw other Cat's Pride clumping litters (not paper)and noticed a few of them are flushable as is the paper litter. The key thing I noticed about their flushable litters is that they state that these litters do not contain sodium benzoate(sp?) which expands and clumps. So I called the company again to see if they know if this is safe for consumption and if it could cause blockages. The lady told me that it is safe for a child to eat (non-toxic) and does not expand or clump as hard as other clay clumping litters, which has actually been a popular complaint with their products. What I am wondering is: does anyone know if these litters are safe? I don't know if it's the sodium benzoate or the clay that has caused problems with ferrets and clumping litters. Please let me know what you all think. Thanks!! God Bless you and your babies!! Kimberly [Posted in FML issue 3057]
