>>>>Pine bedding, like all bedding, covers the entire floor of the cage
and the
gerbils are always standing in it. Since gerbils have such short legs,
their
nose is always close to the bedding causing them to be constantly
breathing
the odors given off by the bedding. The odors or fumes given off by Pine
(also Cedar) is toxic.<<<<<
I have a question about this......if this really is true, that Pine gives
off toxic fumes or odors, then why is Pine sold in huge bags all over the
place and marked as gerbil, hamster, and other rodent bedding? I mean if
it really is harmful to them, then wouldn't companies make something
else? And why would pine even be available as bedding?
