KayteePremium Potty Training Critter Litter for Pet Ferrets, Rabbits & Other Small Animals, 8 lb

I have a guinea pig I adopted recently and never used a litter box before. I put a few poops in the box and she mostly goes in there now. There a still a few pieces outside of the litter box but it’s next to it so I say it works.

This is the best litter for your small pets because they too dont like a stinky bathroom anfd this is the better litter for odor control, sand is ok for a bath once in a while but it stinks quick, this doesn't and can leave in longer.

This works well it dose have a sticky clay like texture when it becomes wet so it makes cleaning hard. Thankfully I have a new set up so I no longer need bedding but it's a good option if you do.

Purchased this Critter Litter for my Ferret because of all the great reviews and was hoping to switch her over. Unfortunately, she never did take to this litter to where I could use it as her main litter. I started off slow by mixing this litter with her other litter but, she just kicked all of the pellets out. So then I layered the bottom of her litter pan with this litter and put her litter on top. That seemed to work for a little while but she again kicked the litter out of the pan. The pellets on the bottom of the pan got really soggy and just made a big mushy mess. In the end, I just kept her on the litter of her choice.Luckily, the bag of critter litter did not go to waste, as a friend of mine has hamsters in her home that she recently purchased for her son so, I gave it to her. Looks like the hamsters really liked the litter and had no problems using it. She told me it worked well and was very easy to clean up. There was no problems with odors either.Gave it a try but, my ferret just did not like it. But,the hamsters enjoy this litter. Ferrets are just very picky little critters!

My two little harlequin rescue ratties learned to use the litter pan (a triangular shaped recycled milk carton cut down and fitting exactly into a corner, and filled with Fresh Step) in one trial, and I thought that was normal for rats, and I bragged about it. Then just for spice I got this new rattie, this pet-raised little blond, and she ruined everything--not only didn't learn, and peed and pooped everywhere she wanted to, but she got the other girls off track, too! So I got this litter. It did not change the situation at all, and it also has some undesirable attributes that ordinary clay litter like Fresh Step escapes: it dries, as other reviewers have mentioned, into a curious concrete bottom-gripper, not a scoopable clump, if any gets knocked out of the litter box the bits form ugly clay smears when you wipe across them in cleaning up, plus the other undesirable, the price. Nor did my ratties seem to prefer it over other kinds: I used several kinds, non-clumping borrowed from neighbors with cats, in trials, and varied the locations, and found no preferences among them, for ratties. I counted poop and felt quite the researcher. They did prefer one corner, but not one litter. That makes it an ordinary three stars for this 'special' litter, based on the weaknesses I listed.For rat owners, that's not the end of the drama, of course. What did I do about the maddening loss of sanitation? I analyzed it and concluded that I had spent very much more time observing the harlequin ratties, as new pets, and 'caught' their every move, and reinforced the right ones probably more often than I realized (since I now know that rats like kind words and little pats very much, even more than a treat, when compared to dogs, and I realized they had gotten more than one trial of those kinds of rewards, and the one actual food reward, to learn to use the litter pan originally). So I began to watch the new rat especially and all of them in general, or let me say I learned to listen for the tell tale scritches when they were in the litter pan as well as watch for it more carefully, and I rewarded generously with all kinds of treats, both social and edible, and within hours Baby had begun to please, and the other girls were back on track.So I conclude that success in litter training is in the careful observation and reward of desired behavior, not in the type of litter, and that as far as litter goes, this one ain't all that. Fresh Step, the clay type, controls smell better, is just as small for their little feet, and is of course cheaper. But it has little pieces of charcoal about the same size as rat poop, making it slightly more difficult to clean out than to throw out and start over. But since it does not smell, it can sit for a couple more days and you don't have to compulsively pick through it to make it last. I imagine there are even better kinds than Fresh Step, but for me the point has been, train, don't worry about the litter except to get the kind they don't eat.

Was trying different cage materials while fostering some rats and this stuff worked. I now have 2 male rats that mostly poop on this material. It doesn’t stop them from just going wherever they feel like it or spreading it around but they primarily go on this. It’s not super soft compared to wood chips or paper bedding. I wouldn’t even say it all that absorbent. But it is durable and pretty much dust free. Way better than anything else I’ve used.

I have pet rats and that's what I was using it for and they have mistakenly thought it was food LOL

Did you know you can potty train rats?! I didn't and boy was I excited when you'd actually worked!
