Bob Martins/BioCatalet

[adi]

Hi all, i switched to Bob Martins Recycled Paper Based cat litter for cage coverage a month or so ago... since then i've found that it doesnt do a lot for odour control, even soon after just being changed.

Has anyone else found this? What about BioCatalet, is that better for odour? I'm in the UK so these two brands are the only real option for me (i think).

Cheers

We've used both, but never had an odour problem with either of them - but we had girls, who I believe do not display the same levels of smell as the male version  Is it males you have?

We had three girls and the litter was changed every two to three days.

I'm not aware either of any other paper based litter safe for ratties in the uk, I'm afraid.

If you could get them potty trained - we had the girls poop and pee in a dish full of litter in the corner of the cage (okay, they still wee'd in their bed ) - it's easy enough to tip out and renew daily, which might be a solution.

Good luck, let us know how you get on.

Both Females.. perhaps the odour is down to something else such as the rollanest.. im changing that today to a new one so maybe it'll be okay after that ...

Cheers for the help..
