I stopped using Fitch about a year ago due to a number of issues, price increases and availability was one of them and I find Kaytee Clean and Cozy to be a pretty good alternative. I usually use Megazorb or Shavings in my cages but always keep a bag of paper based substrate for use in hospital and maternity cages and I find that it does the job very well.

Another paper based alternative has recentely been launched by the Finacard people. It’s made of egg boxes (unused so will be free of contaminants) and is called Softacard. It’s a new product so I’ve not read any reviews yet but it might be worth looking into.
