Brands on pine bedding

[Snickers]

I was wondering for the people that use pine bedding what brand do you use? I have been using a brand for 3 years that has some spruce in it. The person told me that spruce is toxic to chins. I do not know how much spruce is in it.

Aspen is out of the question since I found the 2 cu which expands to 4 cu at $13.00 a bag. I would go through 9 bags a week at about $117.00 a week

I also emailed a rancher out here to get his feedback.

I use Dejno's pine shavings it 3 cu ft compressed and 7 cu expanded. I pay $5 per bag and I get it from my local feed store.

I use Quality Pine Bedding. Shelli (chinchildren) got me using it and I'll never use another type of bedding. It's great, you may be able to find somewhere that carries it, or have it shipped in. Comes in a 3 cubic ft bag, spreads out to 9 cubic ft and I think I pay less than $6 a bag for it.

I just searched a list by Tunes, and spruce isn't listed either way.
The pine chips we get do list spruce also, but I put them in the cages by hand, and remove anything I don't like, and I'd say it's 95% pine as I can't see much of a difference, if at all!
We've a "Big R" store not too far, and they're usually between $4 - $5 a bag there. Been using it for around 10 years without a problem!

I use Dejnos too. 3 cu expands to 7cu for right around 5.00 we get it delivered right to the house for the horses too.
