Excellent - Glad the piggies are enjoying their goodies too :) It really isn't acceptable though to you or us, when everyone is paying for a 48hour service and they take a week!

Monty is very happy with his new bedding - I did cave in and did a full clean this weekend but reckon I could of gone longer without doing a full clean. Am very happy that I went 5 days without a clean vast improvment on every 2nd day:)

I shall be ordering some more and will place an order with you next time as want to try some different hays - cant get his alfalfa hay for love or money round here!

I have 10 weeks of physio to go through - urrghh and a medical with a specialist in RTA's on Monday to do a further assessment. Should have had some hay in the back it would have been a softer impact:)
 
This is what it looks like...

If only they could stop uncovering my storage lids... but I have noticed the storage lids do not seem to be holding any urine, which is weird, I can only think the Bunny O lithium is absorbing it, there last clean was Friday. It doesn't smell yet :)... but I do remove hay that they make a mess on!
 
Yep that looks like Monty's cage!

I do like this - Monty seems happy and it does not smell like cat litter and needs less cleans.

Gets a bit stuck to Monty's nether regions but then so did cat litter - does not seem to bother Monty he is such a chilled chap!

I've not witnessed it clumping together yet though!? Have you?!
 
It does seem to clump a bit but monty wees everywhere not in one place so hard to tell. Have been having a few problems removing the bits from monty's bits as he is lazy at times and gets damp, don't know what is up tonight but he has wet chin and wet rear!

I beleive that it only starts to clump once it gets soaked and the absorbency level in that area reaches near its max. Before that it is drawn away from the surface. I will check though with the manufacturers for you and see what i can find out.

I think that is the case - mine was starting to clump underneath after 5 days but then I decided to do a full clean, if this does not suit Monty it will be fab for Melvin and Parsnip and Leo. I really like this new bedding great there is no smell like the paper based cat litter. It's such a shame Monty gets damp but It's great that since moving inside his 'getting impacted' problem has 90% gone - not sure why but it's great.

I might well have to go for the fleece option with Monty if he keeps getting bits stuck to his bits! but our old washing machine will not like that!

I shall order more of this product as want to get the others on it not just Monty:)

That would make sense, I am very impressed, how long is the buy 2 get 1 free offer on for, as I think I will be needing to invest in the big bags :))!

It is on until the end of March:)

I shall have to place my order soon - must stock up! Have you plenty of stock?

The Alfalfa hay Monty likes is called Alfalfa king in a yellow 1lb bag I got the last one from the garden centre £4.99 but they cant get hold of it currently.

I will have a look for the hay for you. The Bed o linum we have some in stock but it only takes 24/48hr to get more in. Also just a little tip - the 3 for 2 on the 12.5ltr works out cheaper than buying a single 35 ltr bag and gives you 2.5ltrs more for your money;)
 
Bed OLinum

I havent been on for a few days as been busy with family etc, but wow I am so pleased some of you like this product, I have found it an absolute god send for the hammies and gerbils in the house along with the piggies and house rabbit, my husband isnt moaning now about the animal smell, :)).

I had noticed that is doesnt clump till it starts to get wet, depending on the quantity of animals in the cage/tank, so one animal will take a lot longer than 10 for example.

So far I havent noticed any bedding sticking to the bums of any of my lot but they do neat poops, but then they are fed on the Bunny food and hay too ;). Yes I know spoilt animals.
 
4 Days... and no smell!

It is truly amazing puppy pads were stinking by this point... I have storage lids in the hay loft which has the bunny O lithium in you would think you would see urine?! Nope.... None.

I am so investing!
 
It's great stuff:) puppy pads were dry on 5th day when I cleaned the cage out - reckon I could of left it longer - didnt smell!

Just hope I can keep Monty on it - he is a lazy piggy always gets bits stuck to his bum or chin rolleyes will never change that now.

Yes Il sort another order whilst the offer is on but don't know where Il keep it - got mice in the garage again and no space anywhere else - not allowed anymore bins as we have 3 wheely ones and my 2 for hay.

Just to say my Mum managed to find a bag of this alfalfa hay from the garden centre today - a 5lb bag for £10! Last bag I got was 1lb bag for £5 so not a bad price (but first time Ive spent £10 on a bag of hay) - worth it to see Monty popcorn on finding his fave hay:)) thanks for saying you would find this hay for me:)
 
WOW That is a good price. We haven't been able to track it down yet with any of our normal bunny suppliers, so certainly sounds like you have had a good find.

Thanks for trying to track it down for us:) Mum had been checking local pet stores and garden centres for me as she knows Its his firm fave. They were not on the shelf at the garden centre but Mum asked the manager who went to get one from the store room - no price on it but she wrote the code on a post it for the tills - I was well impressed with the amount for £10 will last him ages. I'm now wondering if they got the price wrong as seems a bargin.

Just to let you know we have permission to continue the offer on Bed O linum for a further month :)

That's good news - might just have to order some - I do like it but it still gets stuch to Monty's rear but think anything will! He's been on megazorb recently but going back on bed o linum soon.

Nice the offer can go on:)
 
can anyone give me an idea as to how long 35 litres lasts compared to a bag of megazorb? I only use it in their hay trays (3 cat litter trays), but if 35 litres only does 120cm x 60cm, that is really only the size of a Rabbit 120, which is probably a maximum of 4 litter trays in size. I am trying to work out the most economical bedding for these areas - the rest of the cage is fleece & inco pads. The majority, but not all, of their pee and poop is done in the hay trays because they spend so much time munching in there. Megazorb seems to have really increased in price locally. I used to pay less than £6 per bag, but now I am paying £10. It does however last a while (even when changing the trays daily) and is very absorbant.
 
I use it in my hayloft which is a 1 x 3, I find myself cleaning once a week, and worked out the small bags last me a month. Had the big bag a month and a half now. Hope this helps. I would say 2 month, but I am filling a big area, and replacing wet bedding daily.
 
thanks Joanne. Might give it a whirl while it is on offer. I could use it in their summer day houses too ... photos of which are to follow shortly :)
 
based on my infinite trust of your knowledge Joanne :p I am going to place an order this morning. Just trying to work out what is better value - 3 for 2 on the little bags, or on the big bags. I too shall be buying in bulk - I don't think I shall be able to stretch to it when it is full price
