I have two new things we are trying - funny - they are unplanned things but we are trying them none the less. They stem from wanting to have a one stop shop for all things critter. The pet store has dog, cat/ferret food and litter but no pig food. The Tractor Supply has pig and dog food - tons of cat food but not what they are currently eating but no pine litter. I don't wanna have to make two trips and quite frankly - the prices at Tractor Supply for pet food are much better than the pet store.
So - I bought a small bag of new cat food to try...so far all four cats seem to love it but I have been down this path before. They like it because its different but they don't want it every day forever more. So we will go slow and see what happens. I also need to try it out on the ferrets - getting them to try new things is TOUGH. The good news is - that even if they like the old - I can get that at the grocery and still avoid two trips for pet supplies. The new food I got is called Taste of the Wild - we shall see if its still popular when we get to the bottom of the bag....
The other new thing is moving from pine litter (pellets) to shaved pine in the litter boxes for the cats and pig. I am not at all unhappy with the litter - but it gets a bit expensive. I decided to try shaved pine - the same thing you would use in a barn stall in the litter box to see how it goes. So far one kitty and one pig have visited and deposited with no angst.... hopefully it will work because before it was 2 bags of pine litter every 10 - 12 days at 9$ a bag. This is $6 and I filled both cat boxes and only used about 1/3 of the bag....woohoo! Fingers crossed....
