My boyfriend and I have had our ferrets for several years now and we thank all of you that have helped us over the years with your knowledge and comments. We have for awhile used the pearl fresh litter and have had great success with it. Except for one thing, it's Expensive! We have no problem with keeping this litter but we have been trying to find alternatives just in case. We found recently at PetSmart a litter called Swheat or something like it. It is a litter containing wheat. The ferrets seem to love it and so does my cat. It's fairly inexpensive. It says it does not hard clump which is good since we know we don't want our babies to have digestive problems. It says that it is recommended by vets for kittens since it is easily digestible. What do you experts think? I tried yesterdays news and they don't seem to like it and the odor is realy bad with it. We clean their pan every night since we have four babies. Also, I think one of my babies is deaf any suggestions? We just moved to Waldorf,MD and I'm looking for a vet, reccomendations? Thank you all again fpr all your help. Dooks to all!
