You need to mix pine shaving with the pellets for moms with babies under 2 weeks of age.Would you recommend pine shavings to mix in with it anyways? Or are the pine pellets enough for now?
If the pellets are use alone with babies under two weeks of age the saw dust will clog up their nostril leading to losses.
For anything over 2 weeks of age you can use straight pine pellet without any shavings.
One bag of equine pine which is about $5.99 (depends on location) allows me to do 14 breeder rat tubs (jumbo cat litter pans size) 6 large concrete mixing tubs, 15 small birthing tubs and 6 mice tubs. I use one bag a week for all those.
I use about 1 bail of pine shaving a months the cost is $4.99 (again depends on location).
