I use a mix of this litter and Carefresh to line my Chinchilla's litter boxes. Yesterdays News covers the bottom, and the white Carefresh lets me see where the little critters have peed, so I know which area to scoop out. I have also used this litter for rabbits and it works great. I would recommend this for small animals and for anyone keeping a compost bin. Clay litter is not safe for rabbits, so only use paper litter for them. This littler is not dusty or smelly in any way.
