Is the tray that comes with this something different than normally comes with the scoop free litter box? I would like to build a stand if possible.

The trays that come with the scoop free are disposable trays that hide the waste undera flap that you have to replace every 15-30 days depending on how any cats are using it. The litter bagger comes with a hard plastic litter box with a hole at the end so the waste gets pushed down the opening into a trash bag.

The tray that comes with this is a reusable plastic tray with a cutout for waste to be pushed down to the 'catcher' bag under the stand. I haven't used the actual Scoop Free trays in a long time, but I believe the plastic tray is a little deeper and perhaps a little larger than the disposable trays.

Yes, it is different in the fact that it has an opening cut out of it so the poo can be scooped into a bag beneath as a catch. I you could probably cut a portion out of the normal tray, and it would probably work the same way

We custom make the tray here out of plastic. We also cut a slot out of the bottom of it for the waste to fall through. You could mock up something using the disposable tray, but I would not expect it would last more than a couple of months before soaking through. We do not see the modified tray here on Amazon, but we do have it on our company site. Or, you could buy our "permanent tray" on Amazon and cut the slot out yourself, I suppose. Thanks!

There is a hard plastic tray with a hole in one end that corresponds with the hole in the stand. The waste is then automatically scooped through the hole(s) to fall in the bag below. As another user explained, there is no hole in the traditional boxed litter set up that the automatic litter box is designed to use.

I would not recommend using the tray at all. Rabbits should be litterbox trained. House Rabbit Society has information on this.

I bought this for my son. I will ask him. He said it is larger than the one he had before. Hard to believe he had the other littermaid litter box for 9 years! Good product!

Actually the beauty of the system are the pre=packed trays which are sold with the system and as replacements. Honestly, even though the base of the tray is a laminated chip board paper, i wouldn't keep it around for use with another litter. Eventually the urine will permeate the paper tray.In this case: Use as directed is a good path to follow.

I know we get a litter box in and out of the carrier. Not sure what size of covered litter box you're talking about or how high the cover is. I would think the cover and litter box could go in separately (to make them slightly less tall) and then be put together once inside. Ditto on taking the lid off to remove the litter box to change the litter. No need to keep taking the lid in and out once you have it inside. Hope this helps and hope it fits.

I just saw this message. Has anyone answered this for you? If now, I will measure when I get home from work today. For right now I can say this is the best litter box I've every had. I like not having to take the lid off to scoop it. I do have it under shelves so it's not terribly tall even though it looks taller than regular litter boxes.

The sides are actually pretty low. They're about the same as a normal non-scooping litterbox -- maybe somewhere between a standard and x-large one. It's taller right at the front because of the plastic shield thingy that keeps the litter from falling out the front when it scoops. I have never used the ramp on mine, it is more hassle than useful. ;)

Yes, you can use the cage and be able to remove the tray without the stand. Both cage and stand are well made.

The tray is plastic and it covers the entire length of the hutch. The distance between the mesh wire bottom and the tray is ~2" thus necessitating the tray being emptied every couple of days (which is a good idea anyway). If droppings/litter are allowed to build up, the tray becomes difficult to open and you'll end up with a big mess on the floor/ground. If you live where cold temps prevail in winter, care should be taken not to crack/damage the plastic tray while cleaning it. A decent cage overall but keep the exterior painted or varnished for maximum utility.

Hi Kelsey. Those are just the hooks that hold the top on the cage. No worries, the top has a convenient opening on the front as well as the front door itself. This is a really handy cage for when your pet is inside your home. The litter tray slides out easily from the bottom too. I am sure you will enjoy it with your pet. Good luck, Dan.

No yo don't have to use the crystal litter I use the scoop free and it works great.

A scooper and an adapter. I would advise you not get this litter box. The older version of this littermaid worked great but the new model is a waste of money!! It constantly jams and defeats the purpose of having an "automatic" litter box because you constantly have to fix the rake. I threw this away after a week of owning it and purchased an Omega Paw rolling litter box and love it! Hope this helps!!

No tray, gotta purchase it separately. But it's not too expensive. Also, the holes are not in it, you have to pop them out, but there are rounded out placeholders, so a quick pop with a screw driver or something knocks the placeholder out.

No , I am pleased w the way this permanent tray works and I wash and refill w crystals 1-2 times a month.I do scoop the reservoir regularly for odor control by lifting gently w scooper so that the cover raises and task is easily and quickly completed.I am very pleased with this self raking litter box and recommend the product. I have no complaints w my purchase at all.

It does but i never use them. I recommend not using the liners, actually. Just cleaning it once a month and putting new litter. The liners get soggy and i prefer this box without them. I have had it for a while and it's great.

There is a plastic piece that has magnets that connect with the magnets on the litterbox lid. The other side of this piece rests in the box. It works fine and is alot cheaper than the cardboard trays. (You can see this piece in the picture, it is on the far left. The other small piece is a litterbox scraper.)

I don't know about the crate, but yes, it comes with the tray. I wound up returning mine tho- my dog wouldn't use it due to poor quality of grass. Very plastic feeling. I am going to check Home Depots turf, and see what they have for plastic trays.
