I am cross posting this to Ferret Health for opinions from vets and other health providers. I would like to start using wood pellets for litter pans for my fuzzies. I have read about _not_ using soft wood pellets. Soft wood usually means conifer wood. However, I have found one pellet producer that "claims" theirs are made from only Douglas Fir and Larch. From what I can tell neither of these two woods are pine. And therefore it should be safe to use for litter for fuzzies and other animals. I would like to hear (email) from anyone that has used wood pellets for litter. Please tell me what kind of wood the pellets are made from, the brand name, and the producer. Also, if you have used other brands and why you switched. I will collect all responses I receive, put them in a single posting, and send it to the FML. I realize that this may have been done before and the results are in the archives. Unfortunately, wood pellet producers change their formulation frequently and it would be hard to know if they are being made the same as last year. I thought doing this just as the winter heating season begins, we can gather information that should be up-to=date. Thanks! -- William M.
