    Deborah-is the pine you use kilned? Also, can you use pine pellets by itself?
    Thanks again.
    I used straight pine pellet with breeders and babies over 2 weeks old, nursing mother with babies under 2 weeks old get 50/50.

    The wood shaving are not kiln dried this is what I use http://www.tractorsupply.com/tractor...cu-ft--5027706 I pay $4.99 per bail.

    And for pine pellet I use this http://www.tractorsupply.com/equine-...40-lb--2181006 or equine pine and I pay $5.99 per bag (A little goes a long way)

    Thanks Deborah! I might look into the pellets, seems like they would help with the smell more than just shavings.

    Deborah: If you are using the tractor supply brand premium flake it is kiln dried.

    The place I usually get my pine from was out and I had to use the tractor supply brand.

    I was concerned because the bag did not state if it was kiln dried so I asked the store manager. He stated it was.

    Really did not like the brand however it did the job. I was glad to get back to the Guardian flake I have always used.
