I use carefresh for bedding and for the litter box.

I just go to the tack and feed place near me andask them for their "wood pellet horse stall bedding". It'sthe perfect thing for bunny litter! It comes in a HUGE (itsays 30litre) bag, and I get it for just about $6!! Comparedto store-bought litter, that's GREAT! The litter lasts meabout a month, too.

Check it out!

Here's a picture of our litter, in a 5 gallon Home Depot bucket. Fits about half the bag.

Whatever wood pellet horse stall bedding they have should be just dandy for the litter, but JimD did make a list in this thread:

Enjoy!

P.S. I don't have to break down the pellets, or do anythingspecial, either. I just put a couple handfulls in thelitterbox (we use small kitty litter boxes, like the size they have forkittens), just enough to fill the bottom and a tiny bit more.I put hay on top for Flower, and just leave the litter by itself forMaisie (she won't stand for even a STRAND of hay to fall in herlitterbox). It's so much better, and absorbs so much betterthan any other litter I've tried!

30 litres is about 25.5 pounds in this case, asindicated on my bag of Woody Pet litter. (a litre is a measure ofvolume, not weight, so how much a litre of a substance weighs dependson the substance,).

Thank you! I wasn't sure how to convert that into lbs...

Definately use a wood pellet litter. Ihaven't seen Woody Pet in my area (I'm not too far from you).The two brands I've seen are Marth and ABM (Advanced BeddingManagement). I like ABM better, but they both work.They're both about $5 for a huge bag. You'll find them atfeed stores like the Saukville feed store, etc.
