allergic to pine shaving and straw, any other bedding suggestions

Post by TUCKWILLERSWINE » Wed Jun 26, 2019 6:33 am

We have a Yorkshire gilt allergic to pine shavings and straw and we know it isn't mites, if we don't use any bedding in her pen her skin clears up, so it is an allergic reaction. Any suggestions as to what bedding to use, or what we can do. We can handle the situation at home, but will have to have some type of bedding when we take her to our state fair.

Have you tried cedar shavings?
