[Gpdd] [CARE] Bedding

Hi Friends!
My heart does out to each of you who have sick piggies and/or have recently 
lost a piggy.  Also, we send our very best piggy hugs to them as well as anyone 
who has recently aquired  a new piggy!  I will get to my question in a 
minute, but I first want to update everyone on Tom and Huck (2 of the MD rescue 
piggies).  They are doing fantastic!  They look great, and are eating more (and 
more and more and more - just kidding!) each day.  Their appetites have 
increased though, and I have now added an occasional carrot to their menu.  They seem 
really happy - and although they still have not been put together with Spike 
and G.I. Joe, they are aware that they are in the area and vice versa.  Now for 
my question, and if this had been discussed please forgive me as I have 
missed it before.  Have any of you had experience (either good or bad) with corn 
cob bedding?  Currently my 4 piggies are on 3 different types of bedding, and  I 
am looking for the most safe & economical way to go.  The owner of the local 
feed store told me today that corn cob bedding is what he uses (and sure 
enough - he was right), but I did not know how safe it was.  A 40 lb. bag is $18.95 
at his store.  Any feedback on this would be helpful, and as always I value 
the information that I have received from this site!
Donna, Spike, G.I. Joe, Tom and Huck
