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

Once I started using this training litter my rats immediately stopped going everywhere around the cage then I transitioned to straw pellets. They still use the litter pan. When I added a few more babies to my pack I forgot to go back to the training litter and couldn't figure out why they wouldn't use the litter pan like my other rats did. Once it dawned on me, and I started using the training litter again the new babies took to the litter pan as well.

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.

So let me tell you my experience with this product: I love it! TIP: put a thin layer of a paper based litter product underneath and then a thicker layer of this product on top. It will make it 10 times easier to clean. We've been using it for a year with our rabbits and compared to other products made from paper, this one was the best controlling odors. That is a big deal for me, I wanted something that was odorless to begin with and that I kept it like that for as long as possible. We change it every 3 to 4 days and it holds up great!!The biggest complaint that you read out there is that once wet it turns into a clay material that hardens and it's hard to clean and that is true. But I found a solution for it. I buy this product and add a layer of it underneath the critter litter: Kaytee Soft Granule Blend Pet Bedding, 27-1/2-Liter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000JLPIWU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_m723xbDF3K3ZTThis way it's way easier to clean, doesn't stick to the litter box, and I still keep the benefits of it's odor controling qualities.Our rabbits love playing with it when it's just changed and used to make a mess. I just sprayed them with water when I saw them doing it and said 'No' the first days and now they got the idea that they can't do it. Overall, a great product, specially if you have your pets indoor and want to control the odors.

Great for potty training. A small animal longevity is great last about a week before having to change little quality is good

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.

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.

I have two pet rats and they instantly took to this stuff. This makes clean up so much easier.

This is by far the best thing I have used in my bunnies litterbox. It absorbs the odor very well and is easy to scoop out!
