3000 pounds

So when you have as many buns as we do, you have to look for ways to save some money...

(especially when we are dreaming and hoping of some day having a full-on rabbit rescue)

and we've recently found a great way that saves us over $700 a year!

We finally found Canwick hardwood pellets (it has to be the hardwood kind),

which are safe to use in our rabbit's litter pans.

 

 

This stuff is $6 a bag and good for the environment as opposed to the over $20 a bag

of the recycled newspaper stuff that we were buying every single week.

The hardwood pellets contains the urine smell alot better,

they can be tossed in the fireplace because that's their main purpose of course

and they compost a lot more nicely than the newspaper kind too...
which is great because we're big on composting in our house.

 

 

 There is only 1 local supplier in our city though, and they run out quickly,

so in the Fall, when the store brings the pellets out, we have to jump

and get on the very heavy task of ordering a pallet (which is 50 bags) to supply us for the year.

 

We had to borrow my Dad's trailer, do two trips...25 40 pound bags in each load.

It was 50 bags to load from the store to the trailer than from the trailer to the backyard

than the next day, because we were expecting rain, from the backyard to their spot in the garage!

I am not one of those girls who lets the boys do all the heavy lifting, no way no how!

I helped my honey and I did half of the lifting...

I lifted 3000 pounds over the course of 2 days...WHEW! I was proud of myself

and of course it always feels good to impress my man, ha ha
