Title: Pine? Random question.
Post by: NightmareWolfie1 on June 28, 2008, 04:32:33 PM
There's this super heat treated pine that my school uses for their animals.
Now, we all know pine and cedar is terrible.
I've read a lot on it, and I've found quite a few websites that say the heat treated pine is alright.
I brought it up to me teacher, and she orders it from a lab?
And therefore it's completely sterile.
What do you guys think of this?

I know that some people use it, but, imo, better safe than sorry.  I stay away from that stuff.

Same here I wouldn't trust it either, I find it hard to believe that they can completely eliminate all the phenols from pine.

I am the saying the same thing.  It's pine...I wouldn't trust it.

I agree with everyone... I'm not sure how sterilizing the bedding would do anything but eliminate bacteria. Better to be safe and not use it.
