How many bags of the pellets should I be using? I've used 4 bags, but I sometimes feel like it's not enough.

It depends on how many cats you have. As per the package instructions, one package of pellets, per box, per month, should be enough for one cat. I even stretch it out often a little more than that. With two cats (and especially if they are large cats), you might need to change it more often.

To tell u the truth I use 1 at a time and usually add a second bag over 2 weeks or so. I usually do a deep clean every 3 weeks and change it out completely. I guess it depends on how many cats are using it too. I have 4 cats sharing 3 boxes (they don't use 1 of them for some odd reason).

The pellets aren't meant to fill the box... just barely cover the bottom. Too many pellets and the urine won't be able to drain through to the pad below as it should. Just use one bag for an initial fill and after each complete clean out. If you end up scooping out some of the pellets with the poop, you can add a bit back over time before the next complete clean.

over how long of time??? Pellets are good til they either 1. scoop out with poo on them or 2. turn a dark brown from use. 4 bags in one breeze is way to much in my opinion.....we use about a bag a system....only need enough to cover the slots in the bottom.......at least that's how we use them

I use 1 bag per box and it seems to be plenty. As the weeks progress I add a second bag and after 3-4 wks I change out the whole system. The recommended amount of traditional litter is 11/2 inches so this is less. I also think it depends on how many cats are using box. I have 4 cats sharing 3 boxes. Either way this system has reduced out stress load immensely. It's cleaner and easier to deal with overall.

I only use one bag at a time. I have three boxes and scoop out solids regularly. I replace the pad a couple of times a week for the younger cats but one a week is plenty for my 19 year old kitty. I remove the wet pellets for the kitties that go in the same spot all the time and throw in a couple of handfuls of fresh litter. I clean the pan and put in fresh pellets at least monthly but this depends on use. My cats each use their own box and do not share.

Tidy Cat pellets do not have to be in deep layers as do other litters. We start out a new litter box with approximately 1-1/2 bags of litter into the box. As the used pellets are removed, we sprinkle a similar amount of new littter into the box. Once a week we renew all the litter. Out 16 fur-balls seem to be very happy with this arraingement.

The instruction say use one bag a month. I use two bags b/c that is what I think is good for my cat. So I guess you could say use what you feel your cat/s needs.

Use one bag per litter box and change it once a month. We thought it would not be enough, but it is fine. We have two breeze litter boxes, one per cat, and have not had any issues with the recommended amount. We do recommend scooping every day, and it is not as difficult as it sounds. Hope this helps.

I just add additional pellets as needed. I have not had any issues with the pellets retaining oders.

I think you would need 2 bags for sure but might consider a 3rd bag. Remember do not fill to deep and restrict the propane/gas flow for a spectacular flame on your fire pit.

I use four for close range, max is eight. Three is great for indoor shooting. Different pellet weight make a differance also. All trial and error.

You should be able to get 3 loaves from each 4 lb. bag. I also use it for some of the other recipes or just as my flour base.

I use 4 at a time. Could easily do one sheet on each "level" of the dehydrator though... I just only have 4 sheets. If I had more, I'd use more at one time. If I'm pureeing up all of the fruit and roasted veggies I'd rather make one big batch and get a lot...

Mine came in two sealed bags with 30 in each bag for my pack of 60. You can either reseal this bag or transfer all of the pouches to another container like a mason jar. Just remember that each time they are exposed to oxygen they lose a tiny bit of their effectiveness. So try to work with them quickly and then hurry and reseal them. It would take a good while for them to be "ruined" though (at least an hour of exposure to open air).

I think I used 3 of the big bags of filler....each bag is like $16 at Wal-Mart...It is a little tricky to fill.....do it outside and use a large paper funnel or something to keep them contained:) Good time!

Yes that quantity is correct. 10 pkg (4 pads/pkg). 40 total. I just noticed another one of my other cats is now using the box too! I noticed the reply from Janice regarding pads and pellets. Totally agree about the pellets. I don't change the pellets that often either . I think changing the pad is the where the majority of the odor is ...changing it week only is the secret for me .. But they only pee in this box. It was a great purchase... Thinking about buying another for upstairs.Good luck! Hope it works for you as well as it does for my cats!

I purchased a Caldwell bag but don't use itfor the reason that you mention . I found that a 25lb bag of lead shot (as purchased from a reloading supply store) works well. Since there is not quite enough room for two bags (50 lbs) of shot, I use 1 1/2. The shot bags themselves are thin and strong and conform well to the area that holds the weight.

I just add more pellets as they get low. And then clean the whole box once a month. Wash it out and dry it & then use all new pellets and start over. I don't notice any odor from the pellets themselves & I think that's because of what they are made of. But honestly haven't held any up to my nose. The odor I notice is when I need to change the pad and I do that every couple of days.

My husband used 3 bags, which was a little more than we actually needed. He went deeper and wider than he really needed to. Just wanted it to be safe.

one large bag should be enough. It comes out of the holes, so I just keep putting it back in. Put it where you want it before you fill because it gets very heavy.

One bag of pellets adequately fills the litter box. Ive also read somewhere in the magic internet world of someone using kidney beans? instead and it worked well.

I bake a lot of "artisan "breads so i have 4-5 bags(20#&50#) because it's so much cheaper to buy in bulk that i must protect the flour. Using heavy garbage bags an really strong twist ties, I have no problems with bugs.

What I normally do is I put them in Ziplock freezer bags. I try to keep about 12 at any one time. When I start to get low again, I make more. Another way, if you are concerned about breakage, then a Ziplock or other type of sealable containter works (like Tupperware), if you have freezer space. We don't so I resort to the bags. Once in a while, about 1 per couple dozen will break. Another thing is to boil your water before making the spheres, they come out clearer and seem to be more solid.

I got my bag of Savvy on April 18th and still have about 1/8 the bag left...sometimes I use one scoop sometimes 1 and 1/2 per load and probably do about.4-5 loads a week.
