Pine Debate!!!

I have always used pine for my rodents and I have never encountered ill effects with adults or offspring. Pine masks odor very well and it does smell better than aspen and cedar.

I just read something about sun dried pine. When they call or email me back, I'll ask if its kiln dried

Woody Pet works very well...we use it exclusively for both of our rodent colonies & have had great results. A little goes a long way, too!

Is that horse bedding? How is the pricing on it?

I've always used pine and it worked just fine, I've never had any trouble with it. Recently I switched to shredded aspen because I found a place that it was cheaper then the bales of pine I use. Now I actually like it better. To me, it seems that I can go longer between cleanings before the smell gets really bad, the opposite of what I would have expected. Maybe because it's drier?

That was the main article I read that made me say "go for it"

It is, although I've never used it for horses, nor have I ever seen it at any of the barns where I've trained. ;)

We pay around $4/bag for the quantity we buy at a time.

I don't think what I am getting is the bedding on their site( www.woodypet.com ) but rather pine shavings
