Highlighted Reviews
"So much better than wood shavings. Absorbs well keeps odor away. My piggy loves it. She makes nice beds in it and it is so easy to clean her cage. It's worth the price and lasts a long time"
"I hate that they discontinued old Marshall's brand litter. Whenever I do find it, it's hard to come by, and there's always limited quantities available. I have to mix in old brand with this new brand, so it'll last longer. On its own, I would never use it, and neither would our ferrets"
