I have a smaller cage than you, but I use Boxo recycled paper bedding. It's decently cheap where I am, 51L for $12 at the pet store. Fairly good at absorbing smells, non-toxic, and my guys love to dig in it.
The only downside I can think of is that scooping poop is a little difficult; it's hard to distinguish brown poop from brown paper bits! (My rats only use their litter box half of the time.. -.-")
$12.28 for kitten litter.
When you say "squeaky hammer," I'm immediately reminded of the Lesson of the Guinea Pig Thumbs, an allegorical tale from the long forgotten Sissimee Indian tribe in the Texas lowlands. The Sissimee, of course, occupied only a brief moment in history, as their incredibly lame traditions and dolorous nature made them easy targets for the more fierce Comanche and Apache tribes. Even the Kickapoo kicked the shit out of the Sissimee, no pun intended.
The Lesson of the Guinea Pig Thumb was a great example. Soon after the world (i.e., Texas) was created, on an evening of the full moon Guinea Pig spoke to the Night Sky: "Oh, great Night Sky, If only you would grant me my heart's desire, a hammer, I could break these rocks into [odor-absorbing pellets] (http://www.amazon.com/Kaytee-Granule-Blend-Bedding-2-Liter/dp/B000JLPIWU/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&qid=1395929282&sr=8-13&keywords=guinea+pig+bedding) which would make my nocturnal emissions so much less noticeable. Hence, I would be more welcome among the other creatures of the world, and perhaps could aspire to King of the Beasts. Please, O Night Sky, grant me a hammer!"
Of course, since Guinea Pig was, after all, a guinea pig, what really came out was, "Squeak squeak squeak squeak hammer squeak squeak hammer." But of course, the Sissimee gods understood any language of the natural world, guinea piggish included. Some even spoke the more ancient language of guinea pig Latin.
Unfortunately for Guinea Pig, his plea was heard not by Night Sky, but by the trickster god, Hahashithead. The trickster god knew quite well that often the worst thing you can do to a person is give him or her exactly what he or she asked for. Hence, Hahashithead descended to the marshy bottomland, appeared before Guinea Pig, and said, "Here's your hammer, sucker."
Hahashithead vanished again even as Guinea Pig squeaked his thanks. Guinea Pig turned eagerly to his rocks, only to find that he couldn't lift the hammer, because guinea pigs lack opposable thumbs.
And that's why on the night of the full moon each month in Texas, of one listens (extremely carefully) one can hear Guinea Pig
howlingsqueaking his eternal rage.I swear to puppies I'm going to throw a psychotic fit!
I agree with you - I recognize the bedding though, it's Kaytee soft granule bedding. I've used the stuff, and it works very well!
I've changed her bedding since this gif, but back then I think it was Kaytee soft granule bedding.
This one: http://smile.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000JLPIWU?cache=0c13fc5e1e870d17060330f85dead697&pi=SY200_QL40&qid=1414250935&sr=8-1#ref=mp_s_a_1_1
I have 1 bun and he will only use 1 litter box. I layer a granule blend and paper bedding mixture in a "scatterless" litter box that has a soft wire floor panel. I change once every other day.
I buy from wherever has them cheapest or on sale but for reference:
Granule blend
Paper Bedding
Scatterless Litter Box
Such adorable little boys!
qweers has already given a bunch of great ideas.
I am not an expert, but I've definitely read that air freshener is not the greatest thing for them. I absolutely get wanting to control the smell, though -- here are things I've tried:
No worries, I'm just happy to help! I'm sure you could get it in the US, if you Google hemp reptile substrate! I bet amazon will have it out there, too! Amazon has everything 😂
Edit: I know this one is quite expensive, but I wonder if this is any help? I think they do various sizes!
