Kiln Dried Pine Bedding?
Yes, kiln-dried pine shavings are just fine for guinea pigs. I use it with all of my cages. I have no respiratory issues with any of my pigs.





Kiln-dried just means the shavings have been heated to high temperatures, thus removing the oils that cause the problems.





Regular pine shavings still have the oils, which gives it that heavy pine smell. This is what causes respiratory issues with pigs. Cedar shavings also have high oil content %26amp; can cause severe respiratory ailments. Stay away from cedar or regular pine!

Reply:Kiln-dried pine is fine as a bedding for guinea pigs. It is what I am using at the moment and works fine for me. I buy by the bale and that works out to be alot cheaper.





2 of my girls are currently suffering from what the vet thinks is a mild respiratory type infection. As a result of this I have to house the girls on towels for a few days to see if the kiln-dried pine is making it worse and whether or not the towels improve the infection.
