Going to the store today for bedding!!!

I am going to the store today to get bedding. There doesnt seem to be a huge selection and i usually get care fresh ultra. This week the nautikins have decided they want their carefresh everywhere but in the litter boxes (go figure). What else can I use that is safe, but wont be as desirable or easy for them to move about. I know about the pine and stuff but I did see litter for ferrets and other small animals but I wasnt sure about it.
any suggestions? I dont mind sticking with the carefresh, its just I seem to be wasting alot of it when I clean the cage during the day, and I remember reading a thread while ago about someone switching to something else for the same reason.
thanks jodi
