Bedmax Dust Free Pine Shavings

Product Information

This is also why I never put aromatic herbs in my coop or nesting boxes, and another reason I’m not crazy about pine shavings. reading some stuff on internet I tried to keep up her down and a lot of stinky watery drippings come out ,we have put her on a different coup but unfortunately she died. When these organs are in constant exposure to harmful toxins, that is what leaves them susceptible to harmful bacteria that can cause upper respiratory infections and pneumonia.

The pine shavings on top were exposed to the air and dry (and gravity took the water deeper), but the layer of pine shavings on the floor, hidden from view, was soaking wet. Medium flake sizes and higher pine content make Coastal Flake a softer alternative to pure fir bales.

Next time I brood chicks, I’ll try sand (although it has its own potential problems as a brooder bedding – see my article here on Using sand in the coop). We used AirCell™ technology to ensure that there’s a pocket of air within the liner that makes it easier for it to dry faster even while it is being used.

They are also biodegradable and can be easily composted at the end of the season, making them an eco-friendly choice for gardeners. When I exposed the wet pine shavings while emptying the coop, the smell was enough to almost knock me out. Choosing the best bedding for your guinea pigs is essential for their health, comfort, and overall well-being. None of the fleece cage liners or simple DIY solutions were going to completely cure and prevent the bacterial infection.

Thirdly, pine shavings are acidic, which can be beneficial for plants that prefer acidic soil, such as blueberries and rhododendrons. However, if you have a small coop, this might not be that big of a problem because your chickens aren’t scratching around in the coop as much. Even with all the steps we’ve taken to ensure that our GuineaDad Liner and GuineaDad Premium Liners are the very best of the best, that they can do the very important job of keeping your guinea pig’s environment clean, you as the piggy parent will still need to take some steps in a strict maintenance schedule. If you decide to purchase GuineaDad Liner or the GuineaDad Premium Liner, be sure to first sign up for the GuineaDad Rewards Program located at the bottom right corner (orange gift icon). Putting in the time and effort to find the right type of cage liners for you and your piggies will come back to you in dividends when it comes to cleaning time, the longevity of the liner, and in the reduction of costly vet bills for avoidable health issues.
