I'm not sure about Canadian suppliers for the kind of bedding I'm speaking of, but if you live near a decent-sized city you can find something. Again, just keep in mind that pine, cedar and any evergreen type of tree product should be avoided.

How does that work as to repti bark? above it says fir, fir is an evergreen.
MMMmmmmm... Something???????

Leigh, I believe the difference is that repti bark is fir bark, where as cedar (the truly bad one, pine truly isnt horrendous, although it is bad) is the whole tree ground up, and the saps and arometic oils are really ingrained in the wood.

Haha mulch is like grounded up trees to use for gardens and walkways. It sometimes has dies and/or pesticides.

Well it doesn't quite look like that to me and it doesn't smell like weird things. More like ordinairy wood to me.
