Zilla Reptile Terrarium Bedding Substrate Litter Cleaner Corner Scoop

Make your life easier with this uniquely shaped litter box scoop. Instead of a rounded or squared off outer edge, here the outside of the scoop comes to a 90-degree corner, enabling whoever has scooping duty to reach into litter box corners with a lot less effort!

This sturdy black plastic scoop was designed to pick up pet waste in terrariums, so the mesh holes are smaller than in most traditional cat litter scoops. If you're tired of your scoop missing chunks as you scoop, a smaller mesh might be just what you're looking for!

Cat owners have been singing the praises of this terrarium corner scoop for years -- it was first featured on this blog back in 2015! Don't be afraid to think outside the box (heh) and use whatever works best for your needs. A special corner-shaped, small-mesh scoop like this might be just what you need. This scoop is so affordable it's worth it to give it a try!

Alternative use product alert! One of our kitties (it's William) has a thing for chewing on wires. He especially likes Apple product wires and other similarly pliable round cables. They're his favorite thing and he's already chewed through several iPhone chargers and even our Amazon Echo wire! William is the reason we couldn't play Christmas music in our living room on Christmas day. We tried a few options and found this great solution: split loom tubing.

Affordable Litter Mat Alternative

May 16, 2022 in Litter Box Mats and Alternative Use Ideas

What do you look for in a litter box mat? It's got one main job: to keep litter from scattering all over the place. It would also be nice if it didn't clash with its surroundings, and it fit snugly in the space it needs to fill. Instead of buying a "litter box mat", which may or may not fulfill any of these criteria, consider using a yoga mat!
