Oxbow Eco Straw Rabbit Litter Pellets 20 lb — 100% Wheat Straw, Dust-Free & Clumping

Oxbow Eco Straw Rabbit Litter Pellets are a 100% wheat-straw, dust-free bedding and litter that absorbs moisture efficiently and is safe for small animals.

Made in the USA from compressed wheat straw, this 20 lb bag of Oxbow Eco Straw offers a sustainable alternative to wood shavings and paper litters. It’s formulated to clump and scoop, keep dust to a minimum, and absorb up to three times its weight in moisture. Because it’s derived entirely from natural straw, the pellets break down easily for disposal and are non-toxic if accidentally ingested by rabbits, guinea pigs, or ferrets.

How does Eco Straw perform for odor and moisture control?

Eco Straw relies on the natural absorption properties of wheat straw to trap moisture and reduce odors without artificial additives. The compact pellet form helps liquids concentrate and clump, making it easier to remove so the bedding stays fresher longer. Regular spot-scooping extends the life of the litter between full changes.

• Absorbs approximately 300% of its weight in moisture.
• Clumping action simplifies daily scooping.
• Natural straw fibers help neutralize basic odors without perfumes.

Is Eco Straw safe for rabbits, guinea pigs, and ferrets?

Eco Straw is formulated for small animals and is non-toxic if ingested in typical grooming or nibbling amounts. The dust-free processing reduces respiratory irritation risk compared with dusty litters. As with any bedding, monitor pets to ensure they aren’t eating excessive amounts and replace litter regularly to maintain cleanliness.

• 100% wheat straw—no added chemicals or fragrances.
• Low dust minimizes respiratory exposure.
• Recommended for rabbits, guinea pigs, and ferret habitats.

How do I use and dispose of the pellets effectively?

Scatter an even layer of pellets across the cage or litter pan, about 1–2 inches deep for most small animal housings. Spot-scoop daily and replace the entire bedding when soiling or odor becomes noticeable. Because the pellets are plant-based, they are compostable in many municipal or backyard compost systems, though disposal rules vary by location.

• Apply a 1–2 inch layer in litter pans or cage floors.
• Spot-scoop clumps daily; full change depends on animal count and cage size.
• Compostable where allowed; otherwise dispose according to local waste rules.

What makes Eco Straw different from paper or wood litters?

Unlike shredded paper or wood shavings, Eco Straw pellets combine high absorption with minimal dust and a compact shape that clumps cleanly. Straw is a renewable residue from grain harvests, giving this litter a smaller environmental footprint than some other substrates. Its texture is firm enough to reduce tracking while remaining comfortable for small feet.

• Twice as absorbent as newspaper-based litter per Oxbow testing.
• Low-tracking pellet form reduces mess outside the cage.
• Made from agricultural straw, a renewable byproduct.

Who is this for? Oxbow Eco Straw Rabbit Litter Pellets suit owners seeking a natural, low-dust litter for rabbits, guinea pigs, or ferrets who prefer plant-based, compostable options. It’s a good choice for multi-pet households, breeders, and anyone wanting an easy-to-scoop, absorbent substrate with minimal scent additives. If you prioritize sustainability and simple daily maintenance, Eco Straw is designed to meet those needs.
