What kind of a scoop do you use to remove the poop? Pellets are too large to fall through the scoop I use.

That is the downside to this litter. I usually don't put much in and just scoop the poo with a regular scoop. You just have to change more frequently. They do have a pine litter that's not pressed into pellets. It works just as well for the smell and you can scoop it. The downside to that litter is it gets tracked all over the house. I put a mat down outside the litter box and that helped but there were still pine pieces all over my bathroom floor.

I purchased a scoop from Feline Pine. It was advertised on the back of the bag. I loved the orginal formula wish they still used it.

That can be a problem especially when the litter is fresh. You may be inclined to contact the manufacturer in case they have a compatible scooper. I just shake the pellets of the scoop as best I can and sometimes (I know this sounds gross) I use bathroom tissue to pick it up with my hand and put it down the toilet as my litter box is in a spare bathroom. Good luck:)

The only one that totally works you have to order from feline pine, should be a number on the bag or you can go to their website. If you're still using feline pine I would switch to the Petco brand called sophresh pine. It works like feline pine did before they changed it, dry sawdust, no mush in the pan and it's cheaper! Feline pine now is terrible, I mix a little of what I have left with the sophresh just to get rid of it without totally wasting it! Don't know why they changed it!

I don't scoop at all. About every third day I dump the whole bin out and start fresh. I just make sure to not put too much in there as I don't want to waste it.

I bought a scoop from Feline Pine. I can send it to you as I no longer use the new formula Feline Pine.

I have a small rabbit that barely fits this, and a slightly larger rabbit that it does not fit at all. I would go with a larger model if I were you. Personally I use a cat litter box called the lift n sift because it can hold hay while catching poop and pee and is very easy to clean. My buns had a habit of peeing on the floor next to their food.

Don't use good clumping litter. The chunks get stuck in the slot and you have to break them apart.

I use Yesterday's News and other paper-based pellet litters for my rabbit's box. It is one of the brands recommended by The House Rabbit Society: http://rabbit.org/faq-litter-training-2/ I hope this helps!

You can. However, the tidy cat pads are a perfect fit. The pellets are okay. I think using a different brand my work fine as long as they don't fall through the grate.

The medium pooper scooper should work fine for your dog. The large is enormous!! 31" tall and the basket is 6x6x4" tall. Hope this helps in your decision.

Yes, the biggest size would work. The only issue is the hole is not big enough for a scoop.

No! Live on a farm with a septic system. Have system cleaned ( pumped out) every three years. Never put anything in a septic system that does not normally decompose. By no means am I an expert but if pellet ingestion by animals has led to surgery, pellets do not belong in my septic system. Have 5 Tidy Cat Litter Systems and have not found anything better.

Thats the best part of using the poop hound. Just use the plastic bags that you get from the grocery store

We use a layer of litter called "Yesterday's News" on the bottom of the pan and put the grate over top of it, since everything just falls though the grate, the litter is just there to soak up the pee. You need the biggest one they have for rabbits, I got this one for my rats. It's not big enough for a rabbit.

Hi! I honestly don't know- I use the scoop that comes in the bag- I put a scoop in my bag of chicken layer pellets and stir it up. My best guess would be that I use about 3 scoops total in a 40lb bag. Sue

You can use any good clumping litter! Also, I cut a tall kitchen garbage bag to line the collection pan. Just take bag out and dispose of it. Saves money on buying new collection receptacles.

I think you need to use crystals, but like other people have said, there's a reusable tray you can buy and I also saw some other crystal litter (that is probably cheaper) that you can buy to go with that. So basically, it doesn't have to be ScoopFree necessarily, but I'm pretty sure it can't be anything but the crystal kind.

I also bought this and another system type to allow decomposition of dog poop. Both failed badly after about a year's effort. Just buy a large white or clear plastic food bucket, line with trash bag and keep a snap seal lid on until about half full then pull plastic liner and place with weekly trash pickup. Dog poop takes to long to break down and only one dog creates too much poop for any "recycling effort". If somebody tried to tell me all this I probably would have tried anyway. A quality food container will cost about $25 plus the scoop and plastic liners. BTW, my 75 liner bags after ten plus years are still not used up.

I think it'd be okay to flush a few pellets (for example, sweeping stray ones off the floor) but I wouldn't dispose of large amounts in the toilet. I just dump the entire contents of the litter box every other day (no scooping-- just throw everything away). Refilling the box with a thin layer of these pellets every other day is comparable in price to carving out pee blocks from clumping cat litter, or sifting poops from the crystals, and it's much easier.

Less, for sure... It doesn't get stuck between their paws. I have one that likes to play and he kicks tons of litter out no matter what kind I give him...So I end up with some pellets on the floor because he digs and tosses them out. They hurt when you step on them, but to me, it's no less annoying than stepping on regular litter, and since the pellets rarely make it outside the bathroom where their litter is, it's easy enough to just sweep up daily to keep from stepping on them.I'm not sure what another reviewer is talking about when they say the pellets are soggy and gross... The Breeze pellets are super hard and never get soggy. (Also, clumpy wet litter is SUPER soggy and gross.) Less, for sure... It doesn't get stuck between their paws.

I actually like to recycle the unused litter by filtering out the sawdust and waste. The unused pellets can be mixed in with fresh litter to make one bag last a really long time. For me, Petmate's Curvations scoop has worked the best. It lets you pick up a lot of litter, shake out the sawdust, and still hold onto the unused pellets for re-use.
