  Just looking for a straight answer since previous posts seem to have multiple people giving kind of unclear answers. Does anyone know if I can use these pellets for my rabbit’s litter bin? Would really appreciate the help Thanks guys!

  Yes, you can. As long as there are no accelerants added, and there are none in the products you link to, hardwood stove pellets make very good litter for rabbits.

  Softwood pellets are still safe, yes. This is because of how the pellets are produced, the kiln drying process removes the tannins that can lead to the health issues. Although I’m not sure that cedar is safe still, but kiln dried pine pellets are definitely safe
