Woody Pet Pellets
Hello! First time "post-er." Speaking of bedding: I thought I'd try the "Woody Pet Company" product as bedding for my long-haired g.pig ("Weeps"), and so far I've gotten a LOT of mileage out of it! It was $4.99 for a 20-lb bag, and this one bag will last me years! The pellets slowly break down, the urine is absorbed, you pick out the little "cigars" and one "covering" can last 3+ weeks! Amazing stuff! (You can read testimonials of horse owners that love it on their website) I had to drive a ways to get it, but sure seems worth it. Next time I put it down, I might just give it a little "head start" in disintegrating -- spray it with water to get it to crumble just a bit, as the pellets start out very hard and compressed. I have gone from pine shavings to CareFresh (out of my budget reach) to Timothy hay to kitty litter to newspaper to a combination of any two of the above. The shavings were a MESS all over the floor. What a relief, this stuff has NO smell once everything is absorbed, and nothing can get kicked out of the cage and onto the floor. You just need to "stir it" nightly and pick out the cigars...! So far, I'm thrilled with it! (I should add that Weeps is in a 3-story cage, so he only goes to the bottom floor to do his "business" and never sleeps down there) G pigs are unequivacally the BEST pet, IMHO!!
