If it does not contain the Ethoxyquin then it should be all right. I did find a link from an avain website on the dangers of the preservative. Sorry if this has already been posted, but here it is:Originally posted by popcornbird
I just checked my birds' seed bag. It does not have ethoxyquin in the ingredients. Does that mean its alright? I don't know, but when I got my birds, everyone told me kaytee is the best brand. I always buy kaytee because its the one with the clearest ingredients in cockatiel food, and everyone told me its the best. Now I'm confused.

I could not ever see myself feeding this stuff to my animals, even if some people have had luck with it. I've had customers tell me at work that Cedar bedding has worked great for them for years. That doesn't mean I'm going to stop trying to talk them out of using it.
Here's a good thread on the Rat Fan Club forums, a "What did you do wrong with your first rat" thread. A lot of people said they used pine shavings and/or fed Kaytee.
