  My mom picked up this new kind of litter and i am not sure if it is safe or not. It is called ” Marth Animal & Reptile Pellet Bedding”,
  
  This is what the back of the bag says:
  
  Ingredients: Our 100% kiln dried, virgin wood particles are from Marth, approved mills and that used managed forests that provide consisdtent, quality raw materials.
  
  Process: The pellet mill compresses this clean material under intense heat and pressure wich causes the wood lignin to bind the small particles together naturally with a compression ratio of almost 4:1.
  
  Products: Marth Pellet Bedding’s compressed dried, virgin wood particle fines expand dramatically when exposed to moisture. Moisture releases the energy in the compressed wood fines which allows expansion into a fluffy, naturaly absorbent material.
  
  All of that makes no sense to me. haha. So i don’t really now how to tell if it is safe. Here is a picture on what the bag looks like.
  
  Thanks for your help!

  LOL….use it.
  We use it and it works great. The one thing I wonder about, maybe someone can answer….what happens if bunny decides to start eating it? would it expand in their gut? We currently have a grate over the litter box, so Oliver can’t get to it…but his litter habits seem to be changing and not for the better….and my next option involves leaving the pellets exposed.

  Nugget: As long as your bun isn’t eating huge amounts, I wouldn’t worry about him eating some. It will just expand in the gut and then be digested like any other wood.
  
  One of my rabbits used to eat his wood pellet litter a lot. I solved the problem by putting more chewable wood toys by the litterbox. You might want to try that if your bunny starts eating the litter too much.
