Re: Cedar Chips or ribbons
I use to order in those bales of cedar ribbons and it is dang good bedding and doesn't fall apart like chips.
I am right now using pine cedar mix and doing ok, but you sure go thru more of it. You can look up that cedar on-line and order it in. If you don't have a ton of dogs like I do it is not all that expensive.

I like Cedar Chips for sure! You don't have any flea problems when you use them either.
Cedar Ribbons huh? I've never heard of them. Does sound interesting though.

Re: Cedar Chips or ribbons
I've used both the chipped cedar from my local feed store and cedar ribbon from lion country supply and I have to say that the ribbon is much better. It doesn't get scattered outside of their dog houses nearly as much and it last a lot longer. It's just to bad you have to order it through the mail, but it's worth it.

I know this is for rats but I think it could apply to dogs as well. I just stick to straw. or grass hay.
