Well, I finally got my FineTines Jr, I removed all the sand (sorry Jeff). I really disliked it. it seemed to stay wet all the time. I switched to pine shavings. I LOVE them. It takes me approx 5-10 min a day to sift through. SO much easier. I wish I would have done this from the start, but I LOVED the smell of hay. It just got to be too much work. It smelled terrific, but it got compacted, and then it was difficult to take care of.
My vet just told me pine chips (and cedar chips) may cause liver damage. She quoted an article about small mammals, just something to consider. I have a teensy little bantam chicken in her office right now with an impacted crop or mass blocking her.... the vet recommended aspen bedding instead of pine. I do like the smell of pine, but once I used aspen and did NOT like the smell but LOVED the curly airiness it made in my compost heap.
