I'm using Carefresh litter right now, but I have a couple problems with it. First, it's not as good as I've found wood shavings like pine to be when absorbing odors. But I know pine is dangerous for bunnies because of the dust and fragrance oils, so I can't use it. But my house is very, very...

My campbell's dwarf SwissMiss has taken a turm for the worse, and now she has two lumps on the insides of her back legs. One is yellow, about the size of a mini m&m, and looks kinda like a little piece of popcorn. It's hard to get her to hold still and see, but it looks like is has a little...

I went out shopping for more toys today for my little goo girls and when I did, my son pointed out the log toy that we have in our cage and said, "Look, Mom! It says it has pine shavings in it!" I could have died. Again, my stupidity rises from not reading up BEFORE purchasing a new pet. When I...

...and my mom and I saw one of those SunSeed flower garden salad things for my goos. On the package it says "FOR RABBITS, GUINEA PIGS, CHINCHILLAS & DEGUS" The ingredients in it is Timothy Hay, Dehydrated Parsley Stems, Alfalfa Hay, Pine Cones, Calendula Marigolds, and Rose petals. When I saw...

Hey all. Yesterday I became the happy owner of 2 six-week-old mice :D They are sisters and came from a pet shop because I couldn't find any local breeders, but it was a really nice shop. I've had hamsters and rats before but never mice, I just have a couple of questions I was wondering if...

I was wondering what sort of toys I should buy for my soon-to-be goos. Since there isn't any Degu toys, I didn't know if I should go with chin, rat, ferret, or some rabbit toys. Also, what do goos like to play with? I mean are they tunnelers like hamsters, or what? Do they like ferret hammocks...

And their foster mommy told me that wood chips are not good for piggies. Is this right? One thing she suggested was hemp bedding, which I can get at the same place as my aspen shavings. Which do you think is better?

I've never owned a mouse before at all...and to be honest would just be a little afraid too for right now. Not really cuz I don't like them or that they scare me more so because we had a problem with wild mice getting into the house about a year ago and sadly the problem was so large that we had...

Does any one know which wood (branches) are safe for me to place in their cage and which ones are not safe? Thank You,

The pet store I buy my bedding at was out of stock this weekend, the Degu's cage really needed to be cleaned, so I found some cheap stuff at a different store. Both brands say pine but the new stuff is really aromatic, I'm not sure it's ok for the degus. I've heard to use "kiln dried pine...

Hi guys! I think my degu has been scratching one ear more than usual. She doesn't flinch or anything whrn I touch it, so its doesn't hurt her. But she does un around my room alot, maybe she's alergic to something. There is a little red spot on that ear...maybe a small bug bite? Should I stop...

Cedar and Pine Shavings are Toxic to ALL Small Animals! Cedar and pine shavings, the bedding choices most commonly used for small animals, have been found to contain toxins! Both cedar and pine contain phenols-that's the stuff that makes them smell good. Phenols are caustic, poisonous, acidic...

What kinds of wood are safe to use to build nest boxes? Would simple press board work?

I had 2 chinchillas in my life so far.& Since last summer,I've been without a chinchilla. I really REALLY miss having one in my life. Is there any chinchilla breeders on this site that breed different color chinchillas? (I only ever had standard grey color). Also do you ship to Canada by means...

So, when I let my girls out to play, it's in a penned in area of the floor. So, yesterday I clean out their cage while playing with them (talking, sitting in the play area) and i'm sitting on my knees. I go to shift my weight from my bad ankle to my good, and there's a goo under me!! oh my god...

Now, for all of the animals I've ever had, I've always used pine shavings as I know there are certain types of shavings that rats cant have so mine have always had pine. My Degu's use it as well and none of them have ever had any problems with it. I was just wondering if pine is alright to use...
