GET THEM OFF THE CEDAR. Cedar bedding causes respiratory disease, liver and kidney failure. Cedar is also a major skin irritant and I can't imagine what those babies are going through being on it. Have you ever stuck your face in a bag of it? It burns your nostrils and eyes immediately. It is used in dog beds to kill insects for a reason. IT KILLS.

GET THEM OFF IT! At least use kiln dried pine, preferably aspen.

Anyone else feel this way? I only ask because i have been swapping between pine and red cedar for some time now whith no ill effects.

I would really like to know, because i got alot of rodents on this stuff right now.

I've never heard anyone say that cedar is OK for small animals. Just stick with pine, why risk it?

Ok, tonight when i get home after work I will be converting them to Aspen. Thanks for the heads up on the cedar.
