I also use Worlds Best kitty litter. It's made from corn. It's a clumping litter and can be scooped with a kitty litter scooper. It's 99% dust free. How many pounds of litter would you guestimate that you go through in a week with the corn based litter? It comes out about $1/lb. I currently use "Yesterday's News" by Purina and it comes out to $0.60/lb. I go through about 30lbs/mo for 3 ferrets (one is a kit and pees/poos an excessive amount). I clean my boxes about 2+ times a day. The paper litter has very poor odor control and doesn't absorb pee the best, so I'm looking for safe alternatives. Thank you! I just buy a 14 lbs bag. It lasts me a long time partly because I only have 1 ferret. I clean his cage twice a day too. It absorbs pee and clumps so it's easy to scoop and stays in a clump. I never dump out the entire litter but just top it up with more litter when it starts getting low. It absorbs well and it doesn't smell. You can also get a multi cat litter to help with more absorbency. It's in a red bag.

I didn't know about aspen bedding--looks like as long as it's been treated to remove the oils, you're good to go! Here's where someone else had asked about aspen. You might have to convince them that it's for bathroom usage, not playing in, though!
