thanks for that, ill remember that if i ever get a smelly bag ;)
 
Just starting using this for my two piggies. It's great! Mega absorbant and smells great :)

Is great value too at £5.50 for a massive bag!

Only problem being a slight trek to get it...so far 5/5 for me!

i agree ive been using it a few weeks now, and its fantastic stuff! lasts ages, i pay £5.99

i agree too that the trek to get it is a downside, an hour long trip for me :(
 
I have just started using megazorb too and it is very good. My first bag was £5.99 but yesterday I went to a place and got it for £4.65! I bought 3 bags and will be going again. It's not near me but it is close to my Mums so I will go and stock up when I'm visiting. Thier hay was cheaper too so I stocked up on that as well. (Cat food was cheaper too)
 
its a horse bedding yu can get from farm shops but is very good for piggies too
 
Well have just bought my first bag of Megazorb, got it online as i can't find anywhere near me that stocks it, it actually came from a farm in suffolk about 10 miles away but we don't drive so i had to have it delivered ::) Anyway it cost me £7.99 for an 85l bag plus £4 delivery and i have to say it's really brilliant stuff, have used it for my rabbit aswell and it really does illiminate odours and is so easy to clean out. Have just found it a bit cheaper on a website called www.greenmule.co.uk £4.99 for an 85l bag plus £4.99 delivery so just under a tenner. I covered the whole of the gpigs 5ft cage and my bunny's 6ft hutch and i still have over half a bag so a defnite 5* out of 5* i will no longer be searching for the best bedding around as i have found it! ;)
 
Ive used megazorb twice now, it cost me £5.26 for a 3foot bag which is great but it takes a whole bag to fill my cages. It lasts about 5 days so it is a bit expensive in the long run. My other problem is that mine are indoor pigs and they have a C&C so i have to get in the cage to get the food or them out which means the megazorb gets walked all over the house no matter how careful you are, the piggies like it more than hay and newspaper but arent as mad as they were with vetbed because they cant get a grip on the floor to run fast which was great to watch! I think i will be looking at investing in some vetbed or profleece, overall i give it 4/10 its very good for absorbancy etc but very messy and a little expensive for a big cage x
 
Hi Emma,

It is very messy. Although with 4 of my pigs being outside I am doing ok with it, getting through the 3ft bag in 2 weeks as I use loads of newspaper and hay too and 2 buckets of megazorb per cage and a bit for Cuzzy. I don't think I'll use it in the hutch though, it's just so messy in the garden, my shed is full of it. I tend to clean out totally every 2 weeks and do the cages once a week.

10/10 for absorbancy (is that a word...lol) though! :)

have just started putting newspaper under the megazorb in eric&ern's cage and have found it lasts sooooo much longer and doesn't get quite as messy either ;)
 
Have just bought my first bag of Megazorb and so far so good. No smell and very little dust. The piggies seem to like it to, they popcorned madly round the cage when I put them back in to the freshly cleaned cage! Have yet to see how absorbant it is and if it keeps piggy smells down but will report back in a few days!
 
Is it really good then? I got a boar that is so full of poo its unbelievable! If this meaga zorb stuff would sort out his mega wee whiff it would be great.! Anyone got a web addy for me to buy online? my local supplier only does shavings. And I do like to stick with them as he she delivers to my house for free - anything!
 
Been using Megazorb for 3 weeks now and we love it! It's so absorbant I started to wonder if the boys were peeing! It's fandabbydozy! On the downside it doesn't go far in my C&C cages but that's not a big enough downside to stop me uisng it. The boys love it too! They popcorn round the cage like loonies when it gets cleaned out. Ten out of Ten!
 
I finally got some of this and tried it in a couple of the indoor piggy cages but I wont be using it again :o

It was everywhere in the house.I could hoover up and 5 mins later there was bits all over again
 
i find it easier to clean up than i did hay, which is what i used to use before megazorb. hay used to block our hoover. and when we sweep the laminate floors hay is a pain to clean up, but i find megazorb pretty easy, but i suppose it depends on your setup/house/where they are etc
 
My megazorb arrived today, I have to wait untill Saturday before I can use it for my piggies
 
I got Megazorb once, I don't think I shall be getting it again. It smelt really badly, I left it open for numerous weeks and yet the smell was still haunting us. I tried blasting it with a hair drier, which wasn't the most intelligent thing to do as it blew all over my floor. Oops. :D

I paid approx. 13 pounds from the internet so that included delivery, it seemed to last for forever, most likely because I wanted to get rid of that smell :P

Apart from the smell though, it was very absorbant which I was pleased about.

I pay £5.65 from a local farm shop and have been useing it for months now, only ever had two sacks that were a little wiffy a quick stir and leave the sack open and the smell does go ;)
 
When I was using megazorb it cost £5.26. To me it smelt of wood, well, it is a wood pulp after all. Slightly whiffy but I would open the bag and leave it outside for an hour and it took some of the smell away.
 
Mine smelt strongly of horse manure - trust me to get the smelliest bag ever produced.
 
I think it must have been stored in a horse's stable or something! It was disgusting - almond/woody smells wouldn't have bothered me.

;D i get mine from a shop in seals fodder, in alfreton. both me and my housemate buy it and every single bag both of us have had has smelled of almonds lol

we must be lucky lol
 
I got a sack from an online stockist thinking it would improve things for my 'sensitive to animal smells' hubby ... bad move! It reeked! It was awful, the first thing anyone could smell as they entered the house, it was dusty too. I left the bag open in the hopes it would improve, but the house just smelt worse.
We used it for the piggies and the hamsters and I couldn't use it up fast enough. Hubby would happily have just dumped the sack at our local tip, but having bought it, I had to use it, couldn't bring myself to waste it, lol.

So no stars from me I'm afraid. :(
 
maybe it doesn't normally smell, has anyone wondered if the stockist they're ordering from is keeping the megazorb in a dodgy place, meaning the smell sticks around? I'm aware of two places on the web to order megazorb from
 
where we buy it from they have a big stock yard out back. its a huge outdoor storage building where they keep all their stock.

could be why mine never smells. maybe it airs out while its in there or something ?
 
ordered megazorb and cleaned the pigs out to use it today...seems ok so far, it doesn't smell at all!
