As far as it goes we hedge on the safe and use news paper. Even if the pine proved to be internally nontoxic I would still not use it personally. I deal with a lot of pine in my job and i know that even in kiln dried pine shavings you will get shavings that are absolutely saturated with pine rosin. wood soaked in rosin we used to call lighter knot (in my boy scout days) because it would light like gasoline and start a fire real easy. It is also sticky and irritating on the skin. Ican't immagine what that would do to an animals skin with no limbs or paws to remove it. Soo even if it proves nontoxic I vote no on the pine bedding. My .02 for what it is worth
