Litter Let-down

Mabel and Dijon have been sadly let-down by their usual supplier, a certain online Supermarket for Pets... they were running low on litter, so asked me to order two large bags of their favourite 'Back 2 Nature' paper-based litter, back on Sunday 18th, to arrive well before the last supplies ran out. To qualify for free delivery, I also ordered some hay.

Three days later a parcel arrived - just 2 of the 6 bags of hay. No litter. I emailed immediately... a response 2 days later informed me that the second parcel had been 'refused collection'. I imagine they had tried to put the 2 heavy bags of litter in the same box, and the courier had refused to take it.

Anyway, despite several emails from me, I've heard nothing since. Very annoying... but, more importantly, we have now run out of litter!

Our local stores don't stock 'Back 2 Nature', or other paper-based litters. Male slave went out yesterday, and bought a small pack of Wilko Wood-based cat litter, but it is labelled 'pine fresh', and I'm reluctant to use it, as I remembered that pine isn't great for bunnies.

In fact, I did a quite check online, and found a couple of really interesting articles, about how the danger is actually the pine aroma, rather than any hazard of ingestion -

The Dangers of Softwood Shavings

 


Although these both refer to 'shavings' rather than pellets, I still don't want to risk it. So the poor bunnies now have old hay in their trays, whilst I decide whether to place another order elsewhere for another £30+ (seems standard requirement now for free delivery). I know the minute I do that, my missing items from p supermarket will turn up!!
