I'm thinking of switching from wood shavings to Fitch, after all the good reports I've seen and heard.

Do I need to do this gradually or can I just do a straight swap?

Thanks in advance.

You can do it straight away Not only does it not produce phenols, it isn't as messy and it is really really absorbent..! And it last ages, it's soooo compact.

I'm also going to switch but was thinking of either fitch or aubiose? Is there any real difference? I though the fact fitch is so white it might show the dirt a lot more...

I haven't really seen any mess with fitch, it just goes yellow after a lot of wee has gone on it. But other than that it stays white I never see it anyway as it's under a tonne of hay :lol: I was going to get auboise but I'm really good at getting hay splinters so was worried about sticking my hand into auboise and getting a big chunk of it in my nail :shock:

Here is my visible fitch for my hamsters My syrian pees in his house sometimes but it only recently started turning yellow so I know when to clean his house, usually every 5 days It's been over a month since I did a full clean out and I think it may last longer than the megazorb!

Can get it from Amazon...

Or direct from Fitch...

http://www.fitchrecycling.co.uk/animal-bedding/horse-bedding/single-bale-horse-bedding.html

which is 50p cheaper but I think it comes direct from them either way.

I plan on using it in the litter tray as well as bedding.
