[Gpdd] [CARE] Wood shavings

[Dr Kay Dudman]

Hi Mikey

How lovely to be reunited with your piggies again!  As far as the wood
shavings are concerned, I know that Vedra Stanley-Spatcher is against
using wood shavings and/or sawdust as it can cause respiratory
problems...if it is affecting your boyfriend, it could be affecting the
piggies too.  In the UK I use Safe Bed which looks like strips of soft
paper and is made of vegetable matter as well as hay.  Maybe that would
help?

best wishes

Kay
