Hi ALL,
    I could use a little help.  I found two Pet Shops in Flint that are
useing Pine bedding for the little fuzzies.  One of them had ALOT in the
cages and the poor little things had runnie noses and sneezing.  I talked to
workers in both the stores about the pine and it did NO good at all, I told
them like this not to offend them or get them mad at me"Gee I didn't think
you were supose to use pine bedding, I have read and been told it can cause
respatory problems".  Well this did no good, one store reply well I have
always used it and the breeder brings them in pine bedding, attitude started
right off the bat so I backed off.  The other says theres no problem with it
you just can't use cedar.  He says pine is all natural.  I said yes it is
but its the dust that causes the problem.  Anyway my attempt did NO good at
all.  So Am I right about the pine bedding???  If so could some one PLEASE
send me a text file that addresses the bad side of useing pine bedding to
help me inform these pet shops.  Thanks for taking time to read this and
helping in advance.
