I use this product as litter box medium for my ferrets. It truly does cut down on odors and is really easy to scoop and flush when soiled. For maximum cost-effectiveness, make sure to tease it apart before using, as the clumps tend to be larger than those of the regular formulation. Be sure to comparison shop online--some vendors are much cheaper than others (there's at least one good one on Amazon), resulting in prices that even with shipping are a fraction of list. Don't be put off by different packaging--if it's labeled "ultra," it's the same stuff.
BTW, the original, "non-ultra" formula is excellent as well; it hasn't been my experience that one has more effective odor control than the other, despite manufacturer claims. This one is nicer to look at (at least when clean, anyway), and the prices aren't that much different online.
My suggestion for getting the most bang for your buck (ferret owners will understand my method) is a cleaning routine that consists of removing and disposing of the Carefresh that's most soiled at the back of the pan; replacing it by pushing the remaining unsoiled Carefresh from the front and sides back; then replacing that with new Carefresh. This, in my experience, considerably reduces product waste (would that there were some way to reduce ferret waste as well), and always ensures that there's at least some clean litter in the pan.

Based on the product description and the customer review, I ordered a large package of this litter, Carefresh Ultra White Pet Bedding 50 liters (and also a small package of Online Only Carefresh Litter Ultra, to see if they are the same; they are). It works fine as a cage-floor litter, absorbing nicely, and there are no sharp edges for their tender feet. I have used it for 2 guinea pigs and 1 hamster (Sesame, Hershey, and Marshmallow).

But Marshmallow (the hamster) doesn't use it for her nest-building, doesn't shred it or move it or anything. If this happens to your nest-building small pet, provide something else for that purpose, as it's important for them to build a mounded nest that they crawl under to deposit the contents of their cheek pouches and to sleep contentedly.

A hint- the bedding material that Marshmallow likes best of all is torn strips of newspaper (I cut the pages at the fold, then twice across parallel to the fold, then tear it in narrow strips- I don't really know what the optimum size is, but a size about 2x3" doesn't interest her at all). By-the-by, her favorite chew toy is an old pillowcase or t shirt that I use over her cage in the daytime when she mostly sleeps. She drags it in and chews it up and pulls a big section over the top of her nest! Keeps her busy and happy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better then wood, July 7, 2006

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Carefresh Ultra Pet Bedding 11lb (Misc.)

After I found bugs in the wood shavings I was using with my rat I tried something else. That something else was this Carefresh bedding. He really seemed to like it. The texture is softer then paper though its made from the same stuff paper is. This stuff absorbs extreamly well. I like the white color because it makes it really easy to find urine in the cage and its vary easy to clean up.
