I guess this all falls under the stuff as to "WHY" they advertise such things as CEDAR bedding for all kinds of animals. When it is a fact it is the worst thing you can have around a pet. I simply do not understand that concept. Oh by the way I just joined this forum. And I happen to come across this topic. I have several little critters. Campbells dwarfs, Syrians, Mice, parakeets, Fish, Exotic Dogs. Guess I have a basic zoo.
