When it works its great, we went from regular clay little to Shwheat
When it works its great, we went from regular clay little to Shwheat, to the world's best cat littler and then to the naturally fresh. We loved the odor control that you get from the woodsy walnut smell, we love that a bag of little can last 2 weeks + and my husband the scooter loves that it doesn't get all over his cloths and in his nostrils. I am sure you hear a but coming, and its a big one.
three bags that I ordered in three months came infested with mites, the first time it happened I thought it must be a fluke, since I have only heard of corn based litters being infested with mites, it took days for us to get rid of the tiny, microscopic, bugs which coated our covered litterbox in a light white dusting of insect bodies which crawled slowly over all surfaces. our littler enclosure is made from a cabinet, so we actually had a water heater on top and it was COVERED in these creatures.
So... thinking it must have to do with how it was stored in the amazon warehouse and maybe mine was stacked next to some corn based litter, i drove to the local pet store and bought another 2 bags of the litter. Both bags are infested. the little suckers are smaller than a rice grain but there are THOUSANDS of them.
so... in conclusion, if you are lucky and get a clean batch they work great, but with our batting average we are going back to the drawing board.
