Title: Looking for a fine litter scoop
Post by: Mark on June 09, 2008, 15:12:10 PM
Mine are PAH ones but I find the holes are a bit too big. and I need some that filter out smaller bits - any ideas?

I didn't know there were so many questions to ask about litter and its paraphernalia  :evillaugh:

I found this one but as I need 4, it will cost me £30  :Crazy:

I saw online that lamp-post pet supplies sell 3 different grades and they are 80p - no photo though - more like what I wanted to spend  :evillaugh: - I will probably be going to Hythe in the next few weeks.

I find with ultra clumping, you get a few bits that are too small to stay in the scoop. I would get one good one but probably best to keep one per tray.

I spray mine between trays with clean and safe you could do that and have a blow out on the super duper one!

Blimey I was only saying this to my Hubby at the weekend, as I seem to end up with as much litter on the floor as the cats do with them come out the trays!

Sounds like my pillow talk  :evillaugh:

But I get "Can't you talk about something other that cats  >:( "  :evillaugh:

My faithful wilko scoop finally broke and they no longer sell them  >:( i found a similar looking one in asda - 2 for 99p - but they are not strong enough to deal with lolas bottom of tray patty type wees  :tired:

If you find a decent alternative i would be interested to see it, everywhere else only seem to sell the big holed ones  :doh:

The vibrating scoop has too bigger holes too, is amusing to use tho  :rofl:

I noticed Wilkinsons ran their pet stuff down and the website said it is changing. When I went in last week, they had a lot of the stuff back in stock. I'm curious about the ones from lamp-post but like you say, you need a sturdy one to get the cement off the bottom  :sick:

One of clapton's today was the size of a brick  :scared: - he must have a bladder like a space hopper  :evillaugh:

I don't use scoops with holes in 'em, as you say they just drop bits back in. I use a flat flexible plastic spatula to shift any clumps that happen to have stuck to the bottom of the tray (not filled it enough LOL!) and a large plastic spoon to scoop the poop and free moving clumps!

I have a fine litter scoop (holes about 1/8 inch) but I can't for the life of me remember where I bought it from.  I actually have 3 scoops and I start off with the biggest (more solid so easier to get up large clumps) then I go over it with the finer one, then sometimes I use the very fine one to pick up anything that's been missed  ;D

My best ones have come from Wilkinsons, but they are the 49p ones, which are different to what MM posted. The last one broke at weekend though. i didnt' like the ones like you posted MM, the Wilkinsons' ones were barely strong enough for clumping litter.

I really like the look of the scoop you posted about Mark, but I think my Hubby will go mental at spending almost £10 on something to scoop poop, might put him on litter tray duties for a while and see what happens  :rofl:
