At first I was using clay based rabbit litter. It took me about twenty-five minutes to scoop her litter every night with the clay litter and it was so messy. Then I read about Yesterday's News rabbit litter. I will never use another litter again. This stuff works great and it cuts my litter scooping time in half.

This litter is amazing... absorbent, dust-free, and reduces odors like magic.

Plus, it's safe for my rabbit, which is the biggest plus yet.

I use this product with both of my litter trained rabbits. Not only is it super absorbent, tough on odors, and low maintenance, it is 100% safe for them! If they accidentally eat it, which they will, there is no need for alarm.

I was using CareFree bedding prior, and Yesterday's News is a lot better. Please, use Yesterday's News instead of any other alternative. Your rabbits will love you for it!

I just bought Yesterday's news because it was on sale. OMGosh! I'lll never go back. It is awesome! We have 2 rabbits inside, and with this litter there is NO smell! Totally recommend :)

I've been using this product only brand Yesterday's News Rabbit for my guinea pigs for many years. One purchased stock of this brand sudden poor quality change killed my two piggies.

That sudden poor quality stock of Yesterday's News are too cruel daily torturing my Young Teen piggies. Please never buy any this YN Rabbit brand or small animal brand. Even though now you use it your pets are safe, in the future you won't know when this brand any sudden change in quality again. I believe other pets died because of this brand but the owners won't know the cause.

After my guinea pigs used the new stock YN from petco.com again for few days, they decrease drinking water, abdomens began shaking and painful. Frequent pain squeaking when stool out, daily vomiting when eating developed later, weight loss. My vet diagnosed serious gastrointestinal disease that with inflammatory bowel disease IBD symptoms, gas problem, blood stool, increased mucous in the stool, poor patterns of motility, fluid and bubbles in some part of stomach. Daily relying motility and gas pain reduced drugs, special diet.
The poor bedding I showed to vet, who also believes the cause is bedding, think this kind of injury causes permanent damage to many digestive nerves that can never recover.

I blame myself and cry a lot after discover the cause is from new purchase bedding. It couldn't be problem on food as they have daily oxbow pellets, Kaytee timothy hay, lettuce & baby carrots, oxbow Vitamin C.
I bought 3 bags at petco.com. I still have 2 bags of old stock of same NY product underneath the shelf. I opened all these old stock and new stock bags. I moist a little to split some pellets of bedding by hand to small particles to find the structure inside. Because manufacture needs to grind paper to small particles first, then, compress particles together to form a large paper pellet.
The old stock of 2 bags every bedding particle were well grind by manufacture to tiny. When soak those particles in bowel of water, every bedding particle were soften to dissolve in about few seconds very quickly. To compare, the new stock of all 3 bags are terrible. Every bedding particles are about 4x larger, very poor lazy grind by manufacture. When soak them in bowel of water I had been waiting over 3 minutes, every bedding particles were still didn't softened, all the paper edges were still very roughly sharp when I touch. I need to wait longer in water for all bedding particles soften to dissolve.
The new stock I also found two transparent non-soluble tiny foreign material hide in pellets seems like hard plastic as sharp as glass. Old stock doesn't have any of these.

Comparing all the new pellets with old pellets, all the new stock pellets are very long, has a much thicker glossy transparent wax looking layer surround every pellet but the old stock contains very mild layer. I've a big doubt pure newspaper should not have such strange slow reaction to water, unless this product becomes very non-pure newspaper.
