Abnoba said:I use woodshavings, I think you can tell whether or not they are alright to use... I once opened a pack and that alone had me coughing and sneezing badly, so no way Id use that. However that happens very rarely, usually they are fine. O0
I mean you get good and bad batches everywhere, same with hay, you can get hay of poor quality that is even dustier than shavings!
If you are in doubt you could always use the shavings with a thick layer of hay on top - so that there is no chance of the piggies feet drying out from the shavings as some claim it does, yet the urine will sink through the hay onto the shavings, and you can take advantage of the great absorbency of the shavings.
