Saving Money on Litter For Small Animals

By Destiny (Guest Post)

Check your local newspaper office for unprinted rolls. They are cheap and last a long time. The only downside is that you have to shred it yourself.

I use bird cage litter for my ferrets litter box. It is not dusty and inexpensive! Very easy to clean too!

I use aspen and personally love it. I like the smaller pieces though, as I think they are softer. ;) Newspaper isnt good material to use. The ink runs when wet, can rub ink on the hamster, etc.. Definately not recommended.

Also, for litter boxes, I use chinchilla sand. (not dust)You can also use play sand, which is cheaper. You should still clean the cage out once a week though!

Plain, unscented toilet paper is an excellent nesting material. ;)

You won't need to clean the cage as frequently if you litter train your little critter. Place some kitty litter (unscented, clumping is what I use) into the "pee corner" and when they have it all figured out, place an "outhouse" in the cage with some of the used litter in there (along with some clean litter).

All my hamsters have been litter trained. It cuts down on the cleaning AND the smell!

Use newspapers in small animal cages instead of buying bulky animal filler.
