Heidi- yes I use a regular scooper. I bought the large ones they have at Target for about a buck. They are about 5 or 6 inches wide. The scooping is backward from the usual clay litters in that you need to shake the scooper over a bag so the saw dust falls thru and then put the pellets back in the pan. It takes a few tries before it becomes automatic without thinking about it. I have some pretty big kitties here ( I think Lover Boy is pushing 25 +) so I also have some large boxes. I also use storage containers as litter boxes so the big boys don't get stuck in the small openings and the sides are high enough to stop any kick out. Cheap cheap in comparison. Target also has Jumbo covered boxes which I use mostly.

I keep the litter about 3" deep and just add if needed when I finish scooping.

I don't find sawdust - occasionally a stray pellet but they are not tracked like the clay. A quick dust pan around the box scoops the errant ones up.

Only time I use clay- and it has to be non clumping is for the babies- they start using the box around 3-4 weeks and little ones are nothing but tubes- in one end out the other but since their digestive track is still developing stool is not always formed and - well let's just say the scoop able gets clogged in between their toes. 😝😝😝😝🐾🐾🐾🐾
