Hi Lara. We discovered wood pellet litter a year or so ago and it has been a wonderful discovery. Not only is it cheap, it is very absorbent (you need only a layer in the pan and it immediately soaks up and expands), it keeps down the odour and it is easy to clean up. In our opinion, it is the best litter there is and will never change. By the way, we have 10 ferrets and almost that many litter pans to keep clean every day. We have used other kinds but they don't compare to this kind. Just an aside, it is hardwood, not cedar. Take care, Tryntje Miller. [Posted in FML issue 2498]
