Not sure if this is the right place to put this :?
Anyway, currently at the moment in the bunnies litterboxes we are using shavings (the same kind we bed them in) and we are having to change these about 2 days or so - trust me, we don't mind changing them when needed....- and we've only been using the shavings because we haven't gotten any more kitty litter.
So, we were thinking, instead of using kitty litter, to use wood stove pellets (the kind that you would actually burn in a wood stove). I was just wondering if anyone here as any experience with wood stove pellets? My main question is, is it easy to compost? Could you burn it after you've taken the pooh from it?
Me and my sister are working on composting and making a "greener" (i guess you could call it?) rabbitry. We're going to compost as much things as we can and then burn the hay/dry shavings..yah that part's not so green....but we don't have any other way to dispose of that and we don't want to compost it. Any suggestions on what we could do for that, besides burning it?
For the manure, we're going to get a large garbage can and put it in there, with some dirt and lots of worms. By spring time we'll have great manure to sell/give to people who need it for plants/gardens.
So any tips on composting, experience with wood stove pellets? What brands are good, do you think?
There's a local store here that sells just wood pellets...not sure what brands as I've never been there before, but I'm sure I could look them up and give them a call to ask.
Thanks!
