Problems with Pine Shavings as Bedding

Many pet owners use pine shavings for ferrets, guinea pigs, bunnies, hamsters, mice, etc. Some pine bedding can cause severe toxicity as the wood shavings are produced from scraps of chemically-treated lumber. Newspaper or organic kitty litter is much preferred. The PCP's (Pentachlorophenols) released from treated lumber have been found to cause severe and fatal toxicity levels for horses, pigs, cattle, rats, mice, guinea pigs, and cats in addition to bunnies.
