Temporary litter? Help!

Well, I usually use non-clumping, wood pellet cat litter in the litter trays for the buns, but when that ran out i decided to use the megazorb that I had for the hamster as there was so much. Well, I'm almost out of the megazorb and I have to clean the hamster out which means there will be none left for the litter trays and I need to clean those too.

I ordered their wood pellets online a few days ago and I've also ordered more megazorb. But of course, the earliest they're going to arrive is tomorrow and I haven't got anything for the buns litter.

What could I use as a temporary solution till the stuff arrives? What do you use? Thanks.
 
Newpaper? Not the most absorbant thing in the world and needs changing regularly ... but in the interim until your order arrives it will be fine. Presume you have hay?! Thick layer of newspaper in bottom of litter tray, hay on top!
 
Haha, you know what? I don't even have newspaper! I can't get to the shop either. We have hay, we always have hay.

I have no idea what to do.
 
I have half a big bag of woodshavings that the hamster used to have but I've since stopped using as apparently pine is bad for them (as it is to bunnies i have heard!).

Could I use that?
 
I don't see the harm if it's only temporary. Mine were on shavings until I found RU and learnt about megazorb. Put minimal shavings and maximum hay!
 
a thick layer of newspaper and lots of hay.... it works for the two smaller litter trays i have an no pongs neither :)

oops just saw you have no newspaper.... try just a thick layer of hay until tomorrow
