Wood stove pellets....ingredients?

I am looking into substituting some of my litter for my small animals with wood stove pellets at least partially, because I am going through a lot of the expensive stuff since I adopted two more. It was a suggestion someone made on Yahoo!Groups. Some things are not save for all animals so I need to know what exactly the ingredients in wood stove pellets are?? Is it wood and if so, what type of wood?
BTW, I'm talking about ferrets.

Answers:
I work in a fireplace store, and I believe it's just compressed wood, but I tell you that kitty litter is a lot cheaper than wood pellets! (unless you have some just laying around that you wont use)

Other answers:
I'd stick with the newspaper based litters. Any woods, or dusty cat litters can cause SEVERE respitory problems in ANY small mammal. Aren't your babies worth it? I'm interested why you are going thru it so fast. You don't completely replace the litter every day, do you? You should always leave a little of the stinky litter in there...or like me-I scoop the poop and wet litter only-otherwise they'll start going elsewhere. Maybe that will help? Good luck!
