is it? i've never noticed a scent on it and it doesn't mention one.

folk on fancy rats use it all the time, that's where i got the idea.

Here's a link for you. It's in the products review section on Fancy Rats, and they're saying it's scented. I wouldn't know if it did or not as I have no sense of smell, but a lot of people on FR will not use it because it's scented.

Opinions are like armpits. Everyone has them, and some stink.

And here is the link to the Boicatolet website which says that it has 'Built in winter and summer perfumes'.

R.I.P to all my pets who have passed. They may be gone but they are forever in my heart.

i've had a reply

The perfume is used to mask the smell for the cat using the litter tray.

The 2 perfumes as we call them are both veg /fruit based.

The volume of perfume is 5lt to 5000lt of water it will not harm pets

Come back if you have any concerns or give me a call

Kind Regards

as he's technically saying it's not a 'perfume' in the proper sense but a fruit based masking 'chemical' mixture, and at that v/v concentration there is no danger to rats, even if it contained phenols or other rat no-nos it would be at a trace amount close to what they would encounter in nature anyway.

so it is safe for use with rats.

I remember when I first joined FR a couple of years ago that some people on there used Biocatolet but then they changed the recipe & started using these perfumy things so it became a no-no. I'd rather not risk it, just in case, I've got some quite wheezy girls & one wheezy boy to worry about

simply, it's like those 'medicines' you get from certain practitioners.. where the 'medication' is watered down to 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 01% so that it won't cause the sufferer a reaction..which is the same as drinking water from the tap.



the chances of the fragrances they use having anything potentially bad at toxic levels or that are bioaccumulative are negligable (anything bioaccumulative wouldn't be allowed in by EU/brit law for a start)

0.005ml to 5 litres of water v/v concentration put in i'd challenge anyone to notice that much orange juice smell in water a straight swap test. it would include using a pipette to introduce the amount of juice to 5 litres. (someone good at science maths make sure i've got the concentration right will you? i'm not sure if it's 0.005 or 0.005ml for 5L, dsycalculic and not done this for 6 years doesn't help.)
