Default Brands of cat litter suitable for LH Syrian show pen?

The title says it all really - I've had a look at the cat litters on the shelves but I'm not sure which to buy - any advice?

We use the Morrison's own make wood based cat litter. We always put it in the pen the night before as they tend to have a smell which I presume is the stuff that binds the pellets together. As ling as it is as pale a possible white/cream and has no additives like perfume or crystals it should be fine.

I'll have a look in Morrisons then, souffle - thanks. Can I ask what colour it is (wishing I'd paid more attention at my last show )

We use Bob Martins wood pellets as I found Tesco's version crumbled rather easily. We have bought Morrisons on a BOGOF before (Buy One Get One Free) and it was good also. Beauticat (?) I think it is called, is supplied at our petstore and it is quite crumbly also but cheaper than Bob Martins.

I've not got any yet - but I did see something called Pets @ Home wood pellet small animal litter (or something like that).....there were no pics on the bag though so I didn't like to risk it. Has anyone used this?
