Thank You and get back soon.

Answer 1

Trying to grow mushrooms?

I can't tell from a picture of a bag what they are.

I would suspect spruce because it is the most common construction wood.

It likely wouldn't matter much.

Answer 2

Impossible to know.

I know this sounds stupid, but sawdust packaging never says where it comes from.

I've tried three different woodshavings- one from Pets At Home, where I work, one from a local pet shop, and one from the internet, and NONE of them say where it's from!

Answer 3

I dont think you'll find anyone that can look at that picture and tell.  I'd suggest sending an email to the company and asking them for more information. just click the contact us tab in the upper right of their main page.  Hopefully someone there would be able to tell you for sure.

Answer 4

Answer 5

These do look like aspen shavings. I have 17 rats and do not use them. They gave all of my girls massive respitory infections. You are better off using carefresh bedding. And if they were actual aspen shavings they would say aspen shavings on the front. Its probably a knockoff of the aspen shavings. Questionable because it could also be a knockoff of pine shavings. Your better off going with something like Yesterdays news, Carefresh or Soft Sorbant.

Answer 6

It looks like pine to me. Have you contacted the company to ask them?

Answer 7

Looks like pine shavings to me. The aspen I've seen in stores is always darker in colour than pine.

I would suggest you go with hemp bedding, you can never be wrong with hemp.

Answer 8

i dont no its hard to see
