Help for Prince

I got Marth Hardwood Pellets, 40lb bag, yesterday at our local pet store chain--Mounds Pet Food Warehouse for $4.95 including tax.

Our shelter uses non-clumping gravel cat litter under the hay because people donate cat litter through a program in the pet stores (buy a bag for the Humane Society) and they donate more than the cats at the shelter need. The wood stove pellets are cheaper, but we have not had problems with the non-clumping gravel cat litter.

Purina is coming out with a new pellet, Purina Rabbit Chow Fiber3, that's pretty good.
Here's a list of Purina Mills dealers in WA:

These feeds are usually $10 or less for a 25lb bag.

They also sell a Lab Diet that you may be able to find.

If you call one of the distributors on this list they may be able to direct you to a local store. This food usually isn't sold where other rabbit diets are sold, but you may be able to find it. Our pet store sells it.

You can go to Walmart (out in the garden center) and pick up a 40lbs bag of wood stove pellets for $5....that will last you a very long time if you use a net over the litter box to catch poop & hay and then scoop out the wet litter daily (will turn to a dust-like consistence).

Hmm, I have looked for wood pellets at the local Walmart and I can't find them. Do you think they are a seasonal item? (I think I was looking for it in the summer) Five dollars is a great price for the wood pellets. I think I am going to have to take another look.

They should be in the heating section... ask at Lowe's or Home Hardware/Home Depot too.
My Home Depot has them year round.

The heating section? Like where they sell outdoor fire pits or chimeneas?

Yes Some people also fuel all of their home heating off a wood pellet stove/furnace.

Oh okay, I didn't know that...:embarrassed:thanks

Yeah...I find them outside in the garden center at Walmart. Since I am in AZ, they only have them during the cooler months....I expect them to be gone in all stores within the next month. I need to stock up!!
