Okay so I got some spare bedding in a tub from a friend who had extra. I was told it was aspen, but the chips are a bit large than I am used to seeing. I figured it was just a different brand, I have been using this bedding for my snakes and rats for the past 2 weeks. Well today I saw a picture of pine bedding, and it looks very similar to what I have and now I'm a bit worried, as I've heard about the dangers of pine and cedar.
I plan to replace the bedding asap, but I live a bit out of town and won't be headed back in for a few days. Will they be okay? Should I be worried about them having been on possible pine for about 2 weeks? I haven't seen any difference in their behavior or any signs of RI in either the snakes or rats. I have switched the snakes to paper towels just in case, but don't have shredded paper alternatives for the rats.
