Ms Zimmy Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 Just wondering if anyone in the Ottawa area has a need for wood shavings? It comes from a planer, so it's not fine like sawdust.When I was living up north, sometimes farmers would take it for animal stalls...we don't have enough for a big farm but we have a couple garbage bags full and I don't know what to do with it, figured someone might have a use for it.Any suggestions would be appreciated!Cheers!

Ms.Huxtable Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 I hear Gateaux likes the gerbils. Perhaps he'd be interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairySari Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 What kind of wood is it? If anyone wants to drive it Hamilton, I'll take it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calamity Jane Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 I have the same question as Sari....are the shavings from treated or untreated wood? Are they as fine as the bedding litter used for bunnies, hamsters, skinny pigs, etc?If the shavings are indeed appropriate for wee mammals with overbites, Twitchie & Costanza can split the bags.

bradm Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 (edited) Twitchie & Costanza can split the bags.Twitchie: Hey, Costanza, check this out!(Twitchie shows Costanza a small plastic ziplock bag, with brownish shreds of plant material in it.)Costanza: What is that?(Twitchie opens the bag, sniffs it, holds it under Costanza's nose.)Twitchie: Smell that, man! That's pure oak!Costanza: Oak? Where'd you get that? Is it that bunk treated stuff?Twitchie: No, man, it's untreated! You know how hard this stuff is to find?Costanza: I hear you, brother. Where'd you get it?Twitchie: Well, I have a source. I don't want to give away too much, you understand.Costanza: No problem, it's cool.Twitchie: Tell you what, let's break some out.Costanza: Oh, man, I was hoping you'd say that.(Twitchie takes a portion of the wood out of the bag, spreads it around the cage. Twitchie and Costanza proceed to roll around in it, making "Ooohhh...wooowwwww..." noises.)Aloha,Brad Edited May 13, 2007 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FairySari Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 OH Deb I totally forgot about your bunny! Twitchy can have it all, don't worry about Costanza. And if you need a place to get a lot of shavings cheap on a regular basis, I recommend TSC stores if you have one close enough: http://www.tscstores.com/ I have four guinea pigs now, not just the one, and a monstrosity of a cage, so a few garbage bags full might only fill the thing once or twice. Do I get to post some pictures now? I mean I mentioned my adorable pigs, I get to show you how cute they are, right? The most amusing ones I could find.... Here's Costanza with his (spayed) girlfriend Maci: Tanuki (Costanza's arch nemesis, but a lover of people): Chrysanthemum, my little diva: Oh yes, and the thing I fill with shavings: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
