I just decided I wanted to make the switch from carefresh to a woody pet like product, so...

Just last night I got this:

http://www.petco.com/Shop/petco_Product_R_3251_PC_productlist_Nav_234_N_26+100+30+5482_sku_863688_familyID_10515.aspxGreenPet

Aspen Supreme pellets from petco. This was basically all I could find. We don't exactly have any feed stores around. This brand also makes corncob bedding, but I knew that wasn't supposed to be safe to be ingested, so I got this one.

They also had this product, for a dollar more, but I wasn't sure how absorbent it would be...

If anyone has tried this can I get some feedback on either brand?

 
Just a point to note: Fire Master Woodpellets (for burning in wood stoves) is the exact same thing asPinestall wood pellets.

The same company makes the product and just packages itdifferently. I pick up the Firemaster wood pellets at Ronafor about half the price of the Pinestall at a petstore.

Fire Mastersold for $4.00for a 40 lb. bag at HomeDepot. The pellets smelled so strong ofPine that I put instorage for it toairout. It seems itwill stay there, until Ifinish my Woody Pet.

This is the time of year, whenthe hardware stores are startingto stock their shelves withwood burning pellets.

Rainbows! :)

Hi Dawn,

Stove pellets are okay as long as they process out the components harmful to our bunnies.
Some of the manufacturers make stove pellets as well as products used for animals.
Airomatic oils are often not processed out of the stove pellets.
Just make sure that products are throughly researched prior to use.

Fire Masterwas listed as 100% PinePellets, No Additives, No Chemicals,andsafe for pets. Itdoesn't say how they processed itthough, (kiln dried or not).

And it's a product of B.C.

Rainbows! :D

After reasearching a bit I found that thewood pellet productintended for use with animals made by Fire Master is Pine Stall, PetMaster, or Litter Master

I've bought both Pinestall and Firemaster, and they are exactly identical.

In fact all the rabbit rescues in my local area have Firemaster on their wish list.

It is the EXACT same as the Pinestall, just in a different bag. No additives or firestarters...

There is a generic Feline Pine too, it'sPetsmart brand called ExquisiCat Pine Litter. Its about $2less than the Feline Pine.
 
Marth Animal and Reptile Pellet Bedding

It's made in Wisconsin and might only be available locally.It's okay but I liked ABM better. Unfortunately that's alonger drive.

And so does that mean that reptiles aren't animals?

You must be getting theequine bedding product they make (*wood pellets).
Is it full pellets or a crumble?
What's it costing?
I see they make it in a few different size bags. What is available for you?

We don't have feed stores by us...or TSC...or any of those neat places.But horse people in our area, that use wood pellet/crumble, must begetting it from somewhere.:?

*(They also makean earth/clay product fordeodorizing.)

THANKS Bunnys_rule !!

Our UK members are often asking about the wood pelletsand where they can get them.;)

It looks like acrumble product.
The website states that it comes in 85 litre weatherproof bags.
I see there's prices and a list of stores on the website.

Very Nice!!

Hi missyscove from S. CA! Thanks for the info!

I didn't realize that there were that many kinds available. Cost is a big factor between some of the brands, for sure.

I pay $4.79 for a 30lb bag of Woody Pet (crumble).

Green Pet Aspen Supreme Pellets Pet & Bird All NaturalLitter/Bedding looks like it's pellets (desription says "aspenparticles"). Only Aspen...no pine or cedar used. Safe for rabbits.Online price: 20lb bag goes for $11 to $12(USA).

Critter Country Litter 'N Bedding is a pelletized straw litter.
Online price: 20lb bag goes for $11 to $12(USA).

Hiya!

They make their pellets from 100% kiln dried, virgin wood particles. Sounds good to me :D.

It says it comes in a 40 lb bag. How much does it cost?

What local places do they sell it at by you?

Website: http://www.marthwood.com/shave.htm

~Jim
 
Marth is at just about all of the local feedmills (at least, the ones that carry any pellet bedding) except for theone in Saukville that sells ABM. It's about $5 for 40 lbs.

ABM I think was $5 for 50 lbs. It had a smaller pellet size and less dust than Marth.

ExquisiCat Pine is a pelleted litter is made from compressed natural pine wood.

Online pricing $9 for a 20 lb bag.
