I found a great deal on wood pellets at Lowe's. It's $3.97 for a 40lb. bag and no accelerant added. Way better than the feline pine for $19.95 a bag! Woot woot! :biggrin:

YAY! :bunny17: that's awesome-if Ripley wasn't allergic to so many beddings I'd go get some for him. =P

Sounds like you've found the wood stove pellets.
They're good....and at a good price too.
They may be a seasonal item, so after winter time you may not be able to get them.
Stove pellets aren't quite the same as the bedding/litter wood pellets.
Stove pellets are generally made of hardwoods to provide optimum heating properties. They may not absorb or control odor as well as bedding/litter pellets.
Bedding/litter wood pellets are mostly made form softwoods allowing for better absorbtion and odor control.
I purchase WoodyPet from my Agway store.....costs about $7 for a 30lb bag.
Agway also is a distributor of products made under the Southern States label.....which makes a premium pellet bedding (softwood pellets).

Uh oh, I hope this doesn't fall under the category of "too good to be true" :shock:

i got a big bag of the wood pellets for $4 and change at big r, but not sure of the kind without looking so i hope they are okay lol. if not i guess i can just post it on craigslist for someone actually burning them
my concern is that Chance is going to try to eat them since he chewed up the corner of a towel that was just on the floor to protect it while he's litter training. speaking of this do i need to be concerned the towel he chewed up is going to cause internal impaction or will he be able to pass it okay? most animals i know it could be a huge issue, but i'm not sure about rabbits since they can eat wood and whatnot that most animals can't.

I think it's ok if he eats the pellets bc as you say it's wood anyway, but I throw hay over the top of the pellets and keep their hay rack hanging over the litterbox so they have something else to munch. I was just told to make sure the pellets don't have an accelerant on them.

For all the Canadian people, I found Rona had wood pellets year round.
Last week, I noticed Canadian Tire had wood pellets.
