My oldest, Ebisneezer, was named for the fact that exposure to >pine makes him, well... you can guess. I agree, but not all wood pellets are pine. I (not the ferrets) am allergic to pine and cannot stand to be anywhere near pine shavings or pine pellet, such as Feline Pine. There is a product made of aspen that I have heard of but not tried. I do use wood stove pellets. I don't know what kind of wood it is, but I do know there is no pine and I have no problems with it. So, if you find that one of your ferrets is allergic to a particular type of pellets, you can still try a different one and might have better luck. Kim [log in to unmask] [Posted in FML issue 3076]
