I've been using chick crumbs now for about 3 months and there is no way I would ever go back to cat litter. I get mine from my local countryside store and this 25lg lasts me for about 4 weeks
I tried layers pellets (like chick crumbs but larger pellets) a while ago but had to give up as the tracking was dreadful (so I can imagine it'd be even worse with chick crumbs).. Very disappointing as it was certainly cheaper than cat litter!

Ive not tried layers pellets, I dont find the chick crumbs track too badly. I use a tracking matt and a daily hoover. I just have to watch the dog, hes cleared a whole litter tray of chick crumb in the past, it made him so ill.

So, I was in our local pet shop yesterday and I asked if they could order chick crumbs in. They said no problem but would I like to try them out first. They had 2kg bags in stock for all the locals who keep chickens in their gardens (love the suburbs! )
So I bought a bag to check it out. Have to say, it looks very similar to "world's best", and "cat's best" but a lot cheaper. I'll let you know how we get on.

Started using them last night. Cleo had a sniff about and a bit of a nibble then decided they were sufficient enough for litter. They soak up moisture beautifully and I can tell they're going to be really economical! Thanks for the advice Jen!
My only issue.... they really do smell very strongly of weetabix! I feel like I'm 12 again everytime I clean out the tray. Not a great smell, but hopfully the air-freshener will help!

You can buy it really cheap from GJWTitmuss online,about £7 for 15 or even 20kg sack i think. I get my dog food from there and it is free delivery where i live.
My friend uses it as cat litter and says it is brilliant, i have yet to try it.
