how much litter does the forever litter tray hold?

If you use the Fresh Step Crystals, it recommends enough to make is 1.5 inch depth in the pan (a bit more than half the bag). If you use the Just Crystals, it comes prepackaged in 4.4 lb bags, so you use 1 bag. I find that I am more satisfied with the Fresh Step crystals as the days go by; plus I can run to Walmart when I'm out and not have to order online like I do with the Just Crystals. Hope this answers your question.

Quite a bit, more than the cardboard ones do. But keep in mind that you don't want to put so much in that it will overwhelm your automatic cat box motor. I have seven cats and it works great. A bit pricey but works great.

I've read that the ideal amount to use is 4.4 lbs of litter, but I use the Mimi crystal litter from Walmart because it is cheap and I don't have to do any measuring. It comes in 4 lb bags. I haven't had any issues using that amount.

It holds 4.4lbs of crystal litter. I eyeball the amount, based on using 8lbs bags of litter, and I haven't had issues.

This is covered in some detail at the Forever Litter Trays website under the Crystal Litter tab -- both in terms of quantity recommended and in terms of the types of litter (crystal size specifically). While 4lbs per change will work adequately, the system really works best with that extra 10% of litter per change. It doesn't sound like much, but we've found people get more life out their crystals per change, and less odor by having that ideal recommended amount. There are also other tips in the Support section at the website.

You can use any good clumping litter! Also, I cut a tall kitchen garbage bag to line the collection pan. Just take bag out and dispose of it. Saves money on buying new collection receptacles.

12 inches with the wheels to the bottom of the tray, the bottom of the actual living space is 20 inches above the floor. The bird cannot get to the litter because there is that big space. My African Grey has figured out he can open the small door so we had to wire that closed. There were some bent parts when the cage was delivered but they were easily straightened and the cage has been great.

You won't use the Forever Litter Tray if you buy this. This comes w/ a tray with the catch area cut out. This cut out area is where the feces falls through into the bag below.

I've found many of the clumping litters cling to the bottom and sides of the box when there's not enough litter in the pan. If there's not enough to let the litter clump before it "puddles" in the bottom of the pan it gets sticky oversaturated. I generally keep a minimum of 4-5" of litter in the box.

If you have someone that could look in and at least clean out the receptacle a couple times, that would probably be good... There have been a couple times I didn't get the lid in right and the waste was collecting on top :/ Also, as you know the litter may get a little low and/or need to be evened out with the rake. I actually keep a box of disposable vinyl gloves nearby and remove the clumps from the receptacle every few days then change the entire receptacle about every 1.5 to two weeks. Hope this helps :)

I think you need to use crystals, but like other people have said, there's a reusable tray you can buy and I also saw some other crystal litter (that is probably cheaper) that you can buy to go with that. So basically, it doesn't have to be ScoopFree necessarily, but I'm pretty sure it can't be anything but the crystal kind.

I dump the entire bag in at once (I have a fairly big litter box) and how long it lasts depends entirely on how diligent I am about scooping it. I have two cats and if I scoop the litter every day or two (mixing it up a bit as I do) it will last me a month. If I neglect it for a few days it easily knocks a week off the longevity. It seems that stirring it and dispersing the saturated crystals makes a big difference.

That would be a lot of litter. Usually about 3-4 inches of litter should go in the box. It depends on how many cats will be using it, how big your litter box is and the frequency you will be cleaning it.What size box will you be using?

If you have more than one causing the litter tray, you will need to empty if sooner than usual or get another tray. I have 2 cats and 2 litter trays and with that I have to change the litter after the 45th or 50th use of the tray. You can keep track of the use with the number of times the litter is used. With multiple cats/kittens, you will certainly have to change the litter often. One tray does not make it with more that one cat unless you keep track of the number of uses.

I've been using the Petmate Litter Box which is 22 x 17 plus two side containers to hold scoops. The drawback is that they are really inconvenient to wash out--too large to fit in my laundry tub. But my 6 cats love them (I have three boxes).

I have this box and I use a full 42lb bag of clump litter each time, I have 4 cats and that lasts about 2 weeks with scooping twice a day

Its about 3 inches wide. I use non clumping litter and it has never been a problem. I dont imagine clumping litter would be an issue either. I am very pleased with my purchase.

No clue, but I wouldn't recommend this litter box. It's soooooo lightweight, it slides all over the place. Very cheaply made.

Actually the beauty of the system are the pre=packed trays which are sold with the system and as replacements. Honestly, even though the base of the tray is a laminated chip board paper, i wouldn't keep it around for use with another litter. Eventually the urine will permeate the paper tray.In this case: Use as directed is a good path to follow.

I use fresh step scoopable multi cat for my two growing kittens. Whenever I notice that it's about half full, I lift it up and drop it a little to ensure the waste is compacted in there. With the fact that my kitties are growing, they "go" a LOT, so I find myself emptying the unit twice a week I'd say. I've actually gotten in the habit of scooping whatever is in there every time I use the bathroom. That's a bit off topic though, sorry :) Overall I'd say the bag weights 8 to 10 pounds when I remove it, and that guess is just by judging the weight of my cats when I hold them. They're from the same litter; one weighs 8 pounds and the other is 12 and a half. Hope that helped! I use fresh step scoopable multi cat for my two growing kittens.
