okay, so after a broken promise and a hiatus from rodent keeping in general i have decided that i'm going to buy a standard hamster. yeah, apparently the heartbreak the last time still wasn't enough to deter me from getting attached to yet another fuzzy thing with a tragically short life.
anyway, back when i was keeping cedar and pine shavings were a huge no-no because of the phenols causing respiratory issues in small animals, but now there is this pine is fine website and i actually know people at the store who are agreeing with this stuff. (i think it still sounds kind of sketch...) my question to you all is: is it just spin from the other side or actually okay to use to use these pine shavings now?
i'm probably am still going to use aspen, since i buy it for the millis too (had a problem with a cavy who liked to eat recycled paper beddings, so i don't personally use it anymore) and i know its safe, but i was just wondering if anyone had more info on this topic.
