Cetwin, thanks for taking the time to load up your pix of shavings. I clearly see the difference now and am certain I am using pine.
I appreciate the clarification

Thanks BlueBirdFarm, i'm concerned then that the last bag I bought, which only says "wood shavings" may not be pine but cedar. My nose isn't educated enough to know the difference. Surely a country store selling animal things wouldn't sell cedar shavings??
I've read that you shouldn't use cedar shavings...but have not been able to find out why it's so bad. Can someone enlighten me? Thanks. PS...I've been using pine shavings but sometimes the bag doesn't specify, it just says wood shavings...how can I tell the difference?
