We'll see how aspen fares.
Something that might help when you do the aspen-because it is a little dusty too, is to lighty mist it with water, that helps keep the dust down for you and your pets. A little trick I figured out a few years ago with my snakes aspen bedding. Hope this works for you! Marine

Ya, you are right. I, uh, was too busy looking at the pictures of the cute BT's poking their faces out that I didn't notice. Thanks!

Haha, no problem!
I can't remember if i mentioned, but I got a huge "bail" sized order from Creature Traveler the other day as a "free" sample. I couldn't believe it! I really love the stuff (softchips). It's basically the same as the T-rex coconut husk at petsmart, isn't it DT?

For those who may not know, never use pine pellets for birds. Even to line the bottom of a cage.
Pine and cedar are both toxic to all animals and birds.
Agreed, agreed agreed.

Goodbye, BTS.net -- We've had to good times. I do hope someone else will come along and make it the lovely community it once was.

Had to remove the remote addy option because I couldn't control the size! People kept uploading enormous avatars on accident...
