I don't get it.. I got this and it's basically like hard rocks in "wooden pellet form" and smells like paint. Can anyone comment?

This is shredded aspen, aka excelsior, compressed into pellet form. The scent is natural aspen and does not have phenols like pine wood that is known to be harmful to small animals like rabbits. Once your rabbit urinates in their litter box filled with this, the aspen neutralizes most of the odor by absorbing it and expanding. Then you just dispose of the soaked aspen and the odor is greatly reduced. It works well for my two rabbits. Let me know if you have any other questions.

I live it. We use it as a litter for our bunny. It keeps the urine smell down and when moisture hits it it turns to a dust consistency.

It works great for the litter box I have for my two rabbits. It's really good at absorbing the odors and I thought it smelled like aspens.

My rabbit loves it. Its safe for her to eat and it absorbs odor so I don't have to clean as often.I don't notice the smell of the pellets because I only use a cup full and put it directly into her litter box. If you use it as bedding then you may notice the smell more.

Not really sure what you are questioning here? I use it all the time for my rabbit bedding, and it's great. Keeps the smell down and absorbs nicely. It is the only thing I can use that he doesn't eat!

That is what the maker claims. It seems like any other DT I have bought in the past, and it smells like sea shells, but if you're asking me to guarantee that what they put in the can is DT, then I can't.

I have no idea. The smell and then the taste is something I will never forget. Tried mixing with my morning 'fresh green juice'--Horrid. I threw out the drink and the powder. It smells like a mix of horse hooves..(what I imagine the smell to be) and scum off the aquarium glass. I gasp at the memory.

I did not like this myself, I do not know if this is from the same seller, but when I received there was a horrible smell, so I contacted the seller, and found out they only accepted returns if it was defective. so it was a big to do, and would of cost more to send it back thank, because I had to pay restocking fee, and plus postage. so I threw it away, hope this helps

Something smells like a rat....Return It. XP 10050 comes in a shipping box from an authorized dealer. Amazon lesson.." Avoid Buying From Resellers" Just go pick one up Bed Bath And Before. Easy returns ...if....it explodes.

Bah humbug to these alarmists. I use it in a metal bowl, and mix it with a metal spoon. WTF are they worried will happen? Nothing has, in my case. They don't seem to actually even know what the problems are with using metal to mix the clay. It's simply something they "heard". Don't be a wimp. I might even throw in some bleach too, just to kick it up a notch. Oh, and some ghost peppers. And some eye of newt too.

The paint covers up the grain. I assume it's a hardwood of some kind. It seems very solid and does not indent easily like pine.

I had the same experience, also with the smell. I just threw it away. Couldn't even guess what the coating was!

I would describe it as a mix between plastic and petroleum. I am not sensitive to smells and usually don't care about it...but this thing did have a pretty strong smell to it. (Much less than others, but still strong).

it's like a dried out yellowish kind of looking stuff... mine looked old and didn't get what it promised out of it....

I'm sorry, am I missing something here? It says on the container that the pellets are lead.

negative. too much deformation. and even if it looks pristine, don't re-use pellets.

If I remember correctly, there was a pungent aroma at first. However, over the last couple months it has faded down to near nothing (I just gave it a sniff now before writing this). I suppose if it's really bugging you, leave it outside in the sun for an hour or so (anything longer and it might start cracking due to its fake nature) to let any coatings or chemicals off-gas.

It's garbage. It reeks horribly... I believe it's got a polyurethane wrapping, which is responsible for the majority of the off-gassing. Big, giant notice stating that it meets CA flammability requirements, AKA it's chock full of flame retardant chemicals. Not at all non-toxic.
