Thanks a lot Cactusgirl and Nick.

I have also found info online that this one is very good:
https://www.petsathome.com/shop/en/pets ... cat-litter
Apparently, it has been well tried and tested by folk at Northern Ireland Cactus and Succulent Society.
Currently £12.50 for 30L.

I've just spoken to Tesco Customer services and it's official, their low dust cat litter (as photo posted above by Jim) has been discontinued :cry:

Hence my suggestion in another post a couple of weeks ago that you now try this one, which is also low dust, non-clumping and even smells nice:

Hi Tony, thanks, I can see it isn't molar clay though, which many people seem to think is the way to go. Having found a different source of a molar clay one (posted above), which people have tested out and found to be good, I will go with that I think. Thank you.

The Sanicat from Pets at Home is the one I am using at the moment, the granules are bigger than the Tesco ones were but still fine for use in a JI / Cat Litter / grit mix I have had no problems using it in 2" pots of transplanted cacti or succulent seedlings.

Yes I agreed with Keith as well, the Sanicat Pink looks really good and is a larger granule than the one I mentioned on Ebay.
