After much research and deliberation I decided to switch from wood shavings to pellets for bedding. This is a great article that also describes the environmental benefits. http://www.o2compost.com/content/Bedding.htm
Thanks as always to my friends who used their trucks to pick up the 2 tons of pellets. Living up to one of my mottos, go big or go home. :-)
