I bought these for years and never had an issue until the price of these jumped up massively and could no longer afford them. I found other straw based pellets at a more reasonable price from local animal feed store.

Unfortunately, I can only rate the product as poor due to a significant flaw. While it’s all well and good that the packaging mentions the bedding is not suitable for consumption, unfortunately, my rabbits can’t read... The advertised "fresh straw scent" isn’t exactly helpful in deterring the animals from eating it. One of my pets suffered severe bloating after consuming the pellets, as they swelled up accordingly. This turned out to be a risky and expensive ordeal (vet costs)! Now I’m stuck with three-quarters of a bag of these pellets, which my rabbits certainly won’t be getting as bedding anymore. The manufacturer definitely needs to come up with a solution here; then perhaps the product could be rated better in the future.

The pellets are unfortunately completely crumbled. No idea if it's due to transport, but they're so dusty and lack any structure that I really don't want to subject my rabbits to them.

My two bunnies don't really like this bedding. They slip and slide when they move between levels or hop around. I expected more than such a slippery situation for my two little ones. They don't dare to hop anymore or only come down from their house very carefully. :(

I ordered this product for the first time for the rabbit toilet, and I’m already very frustrated. The pellets roll all over the enclosure, crumble if you accidentally step on them, turn into a mushy mess when they come into contact with urine, and then stick firmly to the toilet. I actually thought that using pellets would make things easier and prevent litter from "flying around" everywhere, but now I have a similar problem—a similar mess to deal with every day. Plus, the pellets are very heavy, both in the toilet and in the packaging. By the way, the package arrived half-open because it couldn’t withstand the weight.
