My favorite bedding is Cellsorb- it's made from recycled paper and is super absorbant. I spot clean by just taking a scoop and scooping the wet spots out - almost as easy as cat litter. If you can handle keeping 40 pounds of it around (doesn't take up much space - this is heavy stuff, way more packed than Carefresh) you can get it now at 50% off at www.petfooddirect.com - $20 for 40 pounds. Hey - you're gonna need it eventually! They also sell my favorite hay, Oxbow, for the cheapest I've ever seen.

How long would 40 lbs of this last with a 2x4 cage?

I've had this bag for months already, and it's only half-empty. I don't remember exactly how long ago I bought it. Depends on how much pottying your pigs do! Also I've been using newspaper for semi-permanent floor time so I don't really know how long it would last. It seems like it'll be on sale indefinitely - I bought this bag months ago for the same price.

Anyone else out there use cellsorb and have a guess as to how long it'll last you?

How do you sign up for the e-mail specials? How much bedding is there in the 40 pound bag in relation to the 50L bag of Carefesh?

Hmmm. I can't remember how I signed up! Here is the customer service number - I'm sure they can tell you: 1-800-865-1333

The 40 pound bag is about as big as a "tall kitchen" trash bag. I'm not sure how that compares. It will last longer than Carefresh because it's packed tightly and is more absorbant. I just put it in my new 2x4 cage, and I used half the bag to fill it.

Oops it's not 50% off; it just seemed that way because I paid 50% less per pound than I did with the smaller bag I used to buy - paid $1/pound in smaller bag, 50 cents/pound with 40lb. bag. It's a $6 savings on the bag itself. I guess that's a good sign that it'll be on sale for a while!
