pigs and cedar

[dadsdeercamp]

Is it safe to use cedar chips in my 4 1/2 month old pot belly pigs cage? I've heard cedar is not safe for any animals. Just want to be safe

No, it may cause upper respiratory problems. What type of "cage" do you have him in?

He is in my old chickenrun 18' x 12' wih an 8' x 10' coop with one of the dogs for company thepig is about 10 lbs and 4 1/2 months old

I would use straw for bedding.

I'd put enough straw that the pig can burrow into it, and I'd stack some bales to make a "cave" for each animal to keep warm
