Is this bedding ok ?

[Robin_]

Not to dredge up an old topic, but I just wanted to clarify (based on some new info I just learned) that not all softwoods are bad. Spruce is as safe as aspen and fir is ok in a mix. So, Chipsi is a perfectly fine bedding because it's primarily spruce-based. However, since unlabeled softwood shavings could contain pine or cedar, it's best to steer clear.

With shavings we have learnt a lot more about possible detrimental side effects. It’s not great for humans - it’s good to do research and ask people with more experience and make an informed decision.
We all love our piggles and want to keep them safe and do the best for them

I always find it depends on the batch, especially with the pets at home woodshavings. Sometimes they’re fine and the guineas have no issues, other times they’re sneezing all week!
