Help! Bedding Troubles - 2008/03/30 22:28
So i ust found out that my local petco no longer sells super shavings, which is my usual bedding of choice. I've tried others, like LM animal farms and premier pet, but they just werent as soft nor good quality. So, when my local petco stopped selling super shavings, I decided to buy a HUGE bag of premier pet pine, because it was softer than the smaller bags and I had read on the website it was kiln dried.
However, while i was changing magellan's bedding today, I took out the new bedding and noticed two things: one, it seemed rather exceptionally moist and two, it smelled so ridiculously super piney. I got scared and have been trying for the last several hours to leave out the bedding aerate it, and i een put my heater over it in an attempt to dry it out myself...it still smelled super piney, and when i tried to put magellan in it, he started strangely convulsing, sneezing, and roling into a ball...this was the first time i paid attention to his reaction to bedding so mybe he is always like that, but it just looked so awful i had to take him out. So, i put back the old, super dirty bedding with some paper towels and shirts, and i decided to scrap changing the bedding tonight. I have no idea if this batch somehow wasnt kiln dried enough or what, and i was wondering, is there anyway to tell? if there isnt, i dont want to risk it...just beware of premier pet and all brand name shavings i guess, and if you get a chance, open up the package and sniff it and feel it before buying it...
any advice? anything i can do to dry it myself?
thanks,
