  Recently I had difficulty finding my usual bunny litter and my family had to drive all the way across town (uphill in the snow both ways…lolz) to get a bag of it. I usually use Good Mews, which I believe is comparable to Yesterday’s News, as it is a recycled paper pellet.
  
  Our supermarket is becoming summarily lazy about getting this important product in. I am about ready to give them the heave-ho.
  
  Today I noticed Feline Pine amongst the cat litters. Is this okay to use for bunnies? Yes/No?

  Yes, Feline Pine is fine! The dangerous phenols have been processed out. (It’s the pine shavings that are a No No)

  Glad you got your answer already! I use it, but switched to wood stove pellets because I FINALLY scored some at my local hardware store! WOOT! It was $5.00 for a 40 pound bag.

  I was a dedicated user of FP but I recently found those wood stove pellets at Menards for $4.99 a 40lb bag and Pepper didn’t even notice the difference! I’m sold, and will be stocking up before spring!

  I think Feline Pine is an inferior product to Yesterday’s News… it has an odor and I don’t think it absorbs as well. But, yes, safe.

  You know, BB, with our home heating methods up here, you’d think woodstove pellets would be easy to find…but I haven’t seen them anywhere. 0_o
  
  Must be our price of gas. My guess is they’re selling out en masse due to us still being about $4 a gallon.

  I guess they figure you all can head out the designated places to cut your own wood! I know my brother already stocked up so maybe woodstove pellets are just too convenient for the normal rugged Alaskan. :0 )

  If you look really closely, you’ll see that the biggest difference between the wood stove pellets and the Feline Pine is the size of the pellet itself. Feline Pine has a much smaller diameter pellet than the woodstove pellets have.
