I purchase mine online from PETstock - it is $21.59 AUD delivered to my home. I have a standard order and it ships to me every 12 weeks. I have two cats and I find the product excellent for their litter trays. Check out the CopRice website for more information but I hope this is of help to you.

Hi Merryn, From the small amount of research I've done regarding rice husk litter it is great for your garden if the soil contains a lot of clay; which mine does. The rice husks take several years to break down so they make the clay friable for a long time. This is very helpful to the garden and to your pocket as you've already paid for the kitty litter but to buy Gypsum or any other product to break up the clay will cost you money. The rice husks are neither compost nor fertiliser so add these to the soil as you usually do. I hope that helps answer your question. :-)

After much practice, I found the technique to use to remove the urine soaked litter. Hope this helps others. First you start at the shallow part of the box, then with your scoop facing downward, use a fossicking action to search for soiled areas. Keep a light hold on the scoop so you can feel the harder areas where it is soiled. As you fossick away, the clean litter crumbles down and you can sweep it aside but if it is soiled, the litter holds it shape. When you find this, fossick around it so you remove as much clean litter as possible. Then turn the scoop facing up and scoop out the soiled part.
