  I’ve seen a lot of people saying about using wood stove pellets as a litter, and my grandparents bought “Nature’s heat” wood stove pellets (Mistaking them for natural salt.) and they gave them to us, to use in the wood stove (we can’t use them, because it doesn’t take pellets, it takes actual logs.) It says they’re all natural, but I can’t find any ingredients for them on the bag, so my question is, are these safe to use for the bunnies? I want to know if anyone else has used this brand, and if it’s okay before I actually use them. Thanks in advance!

  I did a quick google search and funny enough I found an old thread in this forum.
  
  It looks like they’re fine to use

  Thanks! I just don’t want to make the bunnies sick, but if I can use them, then they won’t be put to waste.

  Last time we were at Tractor Supply we used the regular wood pellets; while they work good, they didn’t (at least the kind we got) get rid of any smells and made their pee soaked litter boxes stink. We love the Equine pellets if you can find them by you.

  We normally use the horse stall pellets (Equine pellets, I don’t like the word equine for some reason though.) for their litter, at my tractor supply they’re actually only 5.99 per 40lb bag, but the reason I asked is because my grandparents remembered me mentioning that some people use wood stove pellets, and they accidentally bought wood stove pellets instead of pet-safe salt, and they gave it to us to use. But as long as those pellets are fine to use as litter, I’ll use them because they were free. :p Normally I use the horse stall pellets with newspaper at the bottom and it keeps the smell down pretty good in my opinion, and one 40 pound bag lasts us a month or so between the two rabbits. (give or take)
