Up until now I have been using paper pellet cat litter in the pigs hay trays , the house bunnys litter tray and the rat cage. With 7 pigs over 4 cages plus the bunny and the massive rat mansion I was going through a 25l bag a week which was proving expensive at around £50 every 4 weeks :yikes:. Having recently become self employed as a pet photographer money is much tighter than it was so something had to be done. I had looked at Fitch paper bedding before but never tried it as I prefer to buy pet supplies in brick and mortar shops so I always know I can get more.
Fitch comes in two pack sizes 10kg and 20kg bales with the larger being the better value option at £21. The thought of storing a 20kg bale seemed like a massive task with no sizes given anywhere as to how much of my already oversubscribed animal room it would take up. I took the plunge and ordered the 20kg bale even though lifting it up the stairs in my upper villa was fun :roll:
My reason for this post is to provide hopefully useful info for anyone considering Fitch with a pic of the size of the 20kg bale and to later add how long it lasts me with my pigs, rats and bunny. Pictured with a grid for scale (sorry the pic is sideways). Hope this helps someone.

I love fitch for the hamsters. Guinea pigs have hemp bedding and the rabbits have newspaper and hay.
 
I really loved Fitch. It ended up being too expensive to order and transport though... So I'm using wood shavings to line the litter trays now.
