Prior to leaving California for Massachusetts, Rick at Western Research Products gave me a new product to try that they are carrying. It's called Cell-Sorb Plus animal bedding. I brought it with me and waited until after I had used my normal bedding (CareFRESH Ultra) for a couple of cleanings so I would have something to compare it with. I found the Cell-Sorb Plus to be incredibly absorbent and fantastic at odor control. I was able to double the time between changing the litter. In addition, the content of the 2.5 cubic foot bag (40 pounds) went three times farther than my current bedding, which made it much more cost effective. Cell Sorb Plus is made from recycled newspaper and contains no lead. It is also softer than products such as Bio-Flush and Yesterday's News, also made from recycled newspaper, which makes it much more comfortable for the animals. Normal Cell Sorb Plus is gray in color, but is also available in white, although the cost is more than double that of the gray. For a free sample have your local independent pet store contact Al Fangman, Sr. at Fangman Specialties, Inc., 897 Ohio Pike Cincinnati, OH 45245. (513) 752-4500. Fax (513) 752-6701.

412-396-6334 Dear Mr. Fangman, I am writing this letter to tell you what a wonderful product your Cell-Sorb Plus is. I received a sample after attending the National AALAS meeting several years ago in Baltimore. At that time I was the only one working in a fairly small facility. I did all cleaning by hand. I had a very large, 14lb. male New Zealand rabbit we had named Norman. Against my better judgement I left the Cell-Sorb under his cage for one entire week. I was truly amazed at the odor control. Nothing, I could not detect any ammonia, or urine smell. I even brought two girls from the office in for an official non-animal care person opinion. They too were impressed by the odor control. Although I change my bunnies too often to use the Cell-Sorb for them, I do use it for all my other small animals including rats, mice, and hamsters. Using the Cell-Sorb on the smaller animals enables me to change bedding less often. Sani-cel or corn cob bedding required boxes be changed every other day due to the lack of good odor control and absorbency. Once or perhaps twice per week, depending on the population is all that is really necessary for proper husbandry. In addition to the excellent odor control of the Cell-Sorb is it's also got remarkable absorbency properties. One would expect to have some extra work when changing the bedding this infrequently. You'd be wrong though! There is never any bedding left stuck to the bottom of the boxes. Just dump the Cell-Sorb and your cage has barely any dust on it, let alone wet bedding that needs to be scraped off. Even though the Cell-Sorb may cost a little more than the other more popular and less expensive beddings, it's well worth it. The conveinence and ease of cleaning make Cell-Sorb a truly unique and extremely useful product. We will always use it in our facility as long as we are able. Sincerely,

and Tricks Cell-Sorb Plus is THE BEST bedding! You wouldn't believe how great it is. Nothing beats it for absorption and odor control. It has some special ingredients in it, gypsum or something that actually neutralizes the urine so you never get that ammonia smell! BUT, it's hard to find! Definitely superior to CareFresh and Pine and anything else I've tried. There is some dust when you are dumping it out of the bag. But it is manageable. The wet spots clump up for easy removal. You can stir it up and remove clumps to freshen between full changes. My experience is it lasts about 3-4 times as long as CareFresh--easy. I'm pretty generous with it. I put down about an inch and a half in my cages. You could get away with a bit less, but a thick base makes it easier to refresh midweek. The Cell-Sorb web site is http://www.cell-sorb-plus.com/. Manufacturer is Fangman Specialties, Inc. 897 Ohio Pike Cincinnati, Ohio 45245 (513) 752-4500. Call the manufacturer to find a distributor near you. Then call the distributor to find out what pet stores he/she supplies. That's how I did it. Dear Mr. Fangman, I recently found out about your product from a guinea pig rescue organization, Cavy Spirit, run by Teresa Murphy (San Mateo, CA 650-571-1722). She promoted your product to us and we are convinced it is far superior to the Carefresh product that we currently use. However, your product is not widely known, nor available. We live in the Trukee/Tahoe area and will have to go to Sacramento to buy your product or attempt to convince a local pet store to research and stock your product. We spoke with Andy at Pacific Animal Supply and he stated that he was as busy as he can manage with the amount of distribution that he currently handles. And he currently only ships as far east as Sacramento. Because we are so interested in your product, we urge you to widen your distrbution network and product marketing. It is not widely known at major pet stores such as Pet Club in Emeryville, or PetCo in Alameda/the East Bay or San Francisco. Sincerely, Ty
and James Miller Petland
#245 Dear Mr. Al Fangman, Having
used your product in our store has saved us time and money. Sincerely, Eileen
