    Sweet Pdz, anyone tried it?

    As a former horse owner, I am familiar with this product for horse stalls. It is supposed to have multiple uses though, and small animals is one of them. I am wondering if this may cut down on some of that horrible mouse smell. I am using pine pellet bedding, and although good, it could be better. Here is a link:

    I think I will try it. Can't hurt. If anyone else has tried it, let me know how you liked it.

    I just asked this a couple months ago It did help to some degree but I did not notice enough of an improvement to warrant spending the time and money on it. I am currently using Equine Fresh and shredded pine which works well up to 5-7 days.

    I tried it a while back. I have over 100 mice lab cages, so you can imagine the smell after just a few days.
    My experience was, it helps for maybe an extra day or two. Not worth the extra $$ spent.

    Pine is bad for their respiratory systems. If you use horse bedding, go for aspen.

    Pine is never recommended above aspen for rodents.
    If you use it, that's fine, but I'd never recommend it to anyone. That, or Cedar.

    Too each his own..
    Kiln dried pine is as safe as aspen for rodents. Half the price.
    Never had a sneezing mouse or rat yet.
    Seriously though, kiln drying the pine takes the phenols out of the wood. Thus, taking most of the problem away.
    That being said, I would never use it on reptiles...
    Everyone has their own opinion on it, but I've been breeding rodents on pine for years in huge numbers with no problems.
