I used wood stove pellets, too, as they were lessexpensive, but I found that once they absorbed the liquid, they swelledup and remained a bit moist and messy. Woodypet, on the otherhand, swells, dissipates into a wet sawdust like composition,then dries into a heavy powder that is not messy, nor apt to be inhaledby the bun(s) using it.
I find the user friendliness of the Woodypet compensates forits extra cost. You may not find it so, but I do agree itwould be worth a look. I was fortunate that the TractorSupply Company outlet I first saw Woodypet Professional Animal Beddingat, was using it for their live animal critter display at the time, andwas able to "see" it at work, so to speak.
