The best litter for a litterbox?

What is the best litter for a rat's litterbox?

 

[Moon]

Hands down, Yesterday's News (or similar)! Anything lighter isn't much use in a litter box, as it will all get tossed around, and if you are using litter pans with fleece I can't imagine trying to pick wood shavings out of the fabric! Products like Carefresh and Aspen are more suited to putting as a bedding in the bottom of the cage overall.

But, I think some people might use Carefresh or Aspen as litter pan fodder with good results.

Thanks again, Moon.

I use something different than everyone else seems to... but I love it and for me it has worked better than YN.

I use Healthy Pet Dust Free Fibre litter.

The breeder I got my rats from a couple of years ago told me about it, and I too fell in love.

I've never heard of that before, Lise... very interesting! I'll have to look for it.

I get it from Petcetera. It is roughly the same price as YN. (How long Petcetera will be in business in the future is another matter....)

YN or Mew's Print!!

I like yesterdays news .... not only does it work well but I can buy it at the grocery store.
This is very important to me because I refuse to support pet stores by purchasing anything from them.
I perfer to make all purchases over the internet or from stores that do not sell animals.

They sell this at the Global Ryan's in Guelph, Awesome! I'll have to try it.

Global astores must be fairly independent ... they seem to carry different items
