Is the grate on top large enough for the poop pellets to fall through, or is this only for urine?

It is large enough. My bunny is 6-7lbs and it works great. Every once in a while a couple of pellets will get caught. I love this product!!!

No, not for adult bunnies. It was large enough for the baby bunnies and young bunnies poop only. However even when I removed the grate it was well worth the money. The edging blocks things from being scattered everywhere.

It is as it says, a litter box, for all your little friends bathroom needs! My adult rabbits have no problem dropping there pellets through the grate.

I would say that it is mostly for urine. However I took a side cutter and removed several of the cross members so the the rabbit pellets could fall through. That seems to work. I bought three so that I have a clean on ready all the time. Hope this helped you..

The grate should be removed for the rabbit's sake. If the cage is cleaned regularly, there won't be any messy feet to deal with.

The pads in the system catch the urine, and these pellets only soak in *some* of it, so I'm not sure how well they would work in that capacity. You may want to buy a single bag and try it out (rather than a box/case). Good luck!

There is a tray to pull out for cleaning. I don't know if there was a grate because I don't use it on mine since it seems unnecessary and just another (difficult) thing to clean. I can tell you that my Senegal parrot loves this activity center.

Because the top fits over the bottom, if a cat were to pee against the side of the litter box (from inside) there would be the possibility of it leaking out. Nothing to do with the hinges, however.

If the feces is above surface level it actually gets just above the surface quite well. Because I was picking up with dirt, leaves, and sticks on the ground. Although a rake and scoop pan might be the.Perfect partner to this with pea rock in the equation.

You can close them up top but there is no wire mesh for the poo pellets to fall through.

I have no experience with wood pellets. I can only say FP is better, from many perspectives than clay. Does wood absorb urine?

This is definitely a question I should have considered before buying mine. My one cat likes to pee in the corner directly above the grate so it does require regular maintenance to clean out that spot or else it will build up where the scoop can't reach. I wouldn't call it a huge dealbreaker, though, just a minor inconvenience and still better than scooping out a normal litter box every day. (Also, I've noticed this problem gets worse if I don't occasionally even out the litter, since the grate tends to push it all forward and leaves those back corners a little low.)

No the grate does not have to be on top. I use mine all the time without it.

I think it'd be okay to flush a few pellets (for example, sweeping stray ones off the floor) but I wouldn't dispose of large amounts in the toilet. I just dump the entire contents of the litter box every other day (no scooping-- just throw everything away). Refilling the box with a thin layer of these pellets every other day is comparable in price to carving out pee blocks from clumping cat litter, or sifting poops from the crystals, and it's much easier.

No! Live on a farm with a septic system. Have system cleaned ( pumped out) every three years. Never put anything in a septic system that does not normally decompose. By no means am I an expert but if pellet ingestion by animals has led to surgery, pellets do not belong in my septic system. Have 5 Tidy Cat Litter Systems and have not found anything better.

If the lid isn't open all the way, the internal mechanism may not be open wide enough for the diapers to go through. However, if they are going through that part near the top, it may just be that they don't really fall to the bottom. I noticed that the diaper genie liners are pretty narrow, and diapers tend to be pushed down by the diaper on top of them more than they actually drop to the bottom of the pail.

The pail opening is not very large, just large enough for baby diapers. Adult diapers may be a tight fit.

I originally used the suggested litter... worked great BUT the urine smell became horrible. It would just sit on the bottom and build up... currently I use the clumping litter and the problem now is that the hole is not big enough to allow the pee clump to pass through...

If it's not too big of chunks it should be ok. I have put laying pellets in mine and that works.

NO...not @ all....it would block the holes & all of it would go down to the pad that is created for urine only.I would hate to see the mess that it create. Breeze pellets do not soak up the urine or dissolvein anyway, urine just drains to the bottom pad. Feline Pine would dissolve & clog everything." ) Meow
