  I use horse stall bedding pellets as bunny litter. I’ve found it’s the most economical and I’ve found it’s my favorite litter to use. The biggest problem I have with it is the dust, especially in the dryer seasons when I can’t have a window open (I live in a pretty winter-cold place). Is there any way to lessen the dust? I have 2 buns, one being a Netherland dwarf. I know they are more suseptable to things like dust since they have the squishy faces. Thanks!

  Horse stall pellets are means to be watered, when used for horses. I know some people wet the pellets in their buns’ litterboxes as well. It would probably not be ideal if the bun spends a lot of time lounging in the box.
  
  One option could be to use a litterbox screen, so the litter stays put in the box.
  
  Are the horse stall pellets you use made of wood or of straw? I find the wooden ones a lot less dusty than the straw ones.
