I have to say, i LOVE the wood pellets.  Love.  O-mi-gawd, i am beside
myself with the joy of a teenager with infinite credit limit who's visiting
a shopping mall, they are that wonderful.  No, really.
 
Mo' Maggie asked how people clean up the pellets: i put a thin layer in -
like an inch deep - and i scoop out poops and obvious spots once a day, but
then dump the entire thing once a week.  The ferrets seem to be okay with
that, although unlike Maggie i haven't noticed a huge increase in hits since
we began using it.
 
I use the thin layer and resmooth it out after cleaning because it absorbs
and breaks down *so well* that i dont need a lot in the box.  The biggest
problem my three have is that i think it doesnt feel like litter on their
paws, and that bothers them a bit.  I would change out the entire box more
frequently, but such is my laziness and such is the great odor and mess
control of the litter, it isnt necessary.
