I am also in the UK. I am interested (I couldnot spell intrigued). Could someone back home (the US of A) post ofphoto of what this stuff looks like (in the pan) and maybe what it saysin the bag (what it is made out of)? I am determined to find somethinglike it over here.

I have seen some stuff that is probably like it, but I was just afraidto buy a 50lb bag and it be bad for the rabbits. I will take a pictureof it and find out what is in it and get some on-line opinions. I thinkit was called something like Fussy Puss (wood cat litter).

I checked around a little and wasn't able to find any dealers of wood pellet litter, comparable to Woody Pet, in the UK.

The wood pellet cat litter we have is called Feline Pine. I've heard ofpeople using it with good results, but the price is a big difference.

Not all wood pellets are the same.

I tried some wood pellets from a fire place store....and I found thatthey were hard and didn't break down too good to absorb the moisture.

I tried some pine pellets from a hardware store...and found that thesmell of pine was very strong. Didn't think it would be safefor bunny.

If you can't find Woody Pet.....check for the wood pellets that areused for horse bedding. Here is anotherlink similar to Woody Pet........

I use Pampuss cat litter, made by Pettex, and itis excellent. I think it must be similar to Woody Pet, from what I'veread. They are pellets which absorb urine and it goes like sawdust, andit controls smell wonderfully. This is what it looks like dry

[onnie]

Thanks it's worth trying just to see if there's any difference

 

[Saffy]

Many thanks forall the replies ... I note that the Guardian Horse Bedding one is pinetho (and not just pine scented), and I didn't think this was suitablefor buns .. ? (Someonecorrectme if I'm wrong)

I believe that Woody pet is made out ofPine. But all the oils and scent has been removed somehow,don't know how. I'm pretty sure that's what the bagsays. I will check tomorrow and let you know forsure. I keep mine outside and it's late and dark right now orelse I would check it now for you.

Sorry not much help at the moment.

 

[Saffy]

Thank you ...

I think I'm going to try a bag of the cat litter from Pets At Home ..seeing at we have a store only about 7 miles from us inChesterfield. Will let you all know howwe get on!

 

[p1rat3]

LuvaBun, Thank you. PamPuss is the stuff. I amglad that someone else is using it and that it says also for rabbits onit. I guess I should have read the lable. It is going to be some muchcheaper than using CareFresh!

From what I have seen that looks exactly like Woody Pet.
