The Pine Debate

[rabernet]

Or, to put it more simply, do you want to trust your female coral glow pied to a bedding that causes rats to wheeze and snuffle and die at half their usual lifespan?

All of my rats are kept on pine (pellets for adults, shavings for nursing moms and babies) - none wheeze or snuffle, and my oldest was almost four years old before she died. I personally have seen no negative effects of using pine bedding for any of my rodents. In addition, it cuts the smell much better than aspen does.
