Question
Hello again.... i was just wondering if you new anything about mice??? if you do.....are they aloud to be in shavings because the guy at the pets store said that they weren't...because the oils would kill them....is that true????

Answer
Hello Chase,

Your in luck, I know a little about mice. It helps to work at a pet store. :) Mice are allowed to be in Aspen shavings, but Pine and Cedar Shavings have the oils that would kill them. So the guy was somewhat right, just a little off on what type of shavings. The mice at where I work are fine and healthy and they are on Aspen shavings.

I hope this helps,
 Take care,
