Aiyooo.. I just went to pet family again. They say no 1.5ft 1 leh.. so I just took the 2ft one. RM41! O.o zzzzz... nezu.. if u got go to any petshop these days with 1.5ft tank and u want the 2ft tank i have now, can swap ah+topup some money ah? zzzz.. SO HUGE the 2 ft tank. My mom sure me liao this time. DIE... lol.. everything got alrd.. almost everything la.. now pokai. No money to buy food. Will temporarily feed them my hamster food. Got coconut shell, corn corb (eh, the small pack corn corb won't be enough for the 2ft tank hor? need to buy the big pack), water bottle, hay/alfafa....

Ohh, now Delikate is better?

But I can't find where it says what type of wood... Just special wood flakes

Ohh, one more thing, how to make the hole for the water bottle?

Actually.... Delikate and Chipsi also soft woods... but if you put your face into the wood shaving bags.... You can tell the difference. Delikate has little smell while Chipsi is stronger... but if you were to put Hagen pine as comparison, Hagen Pine smells really really strong... so you can tell the difference by smell and dust content.

Added on March 28, 2007, 6:28 pmIt is up to the individual, to use either Chipsi or Delikate lah... only these 2 brands can be safely used for now.

If you prefer a safer alternative, you can get Kaytee Aspen instead. Pet Family usually carries some.

Aspen wood is hardwood. Hardwoods do not contain any harmful phenols like pine or cedar. It's considered safe.

Aspen is recommended more for gerbils and other small mammals that don't produce strong odour as it's not very strong at suppressing smell. I like the fresh smell of aspen though.

Thanks!

Will probably try the sniffing technique too

1st time getting gerbils, need to get the right stuffs

HAha.. you're the one who was so desperate for the agouti eh?
To make hole.. some ppl use hot nail. burn the nail until it becomes flaming red. Or can use small screw driver also. Melt the tank.. ask nezu la..

yeah.. read in many online articles that aspen is the best. I still prefer corn corbs actually.. wood shavings got smell.. but corn corbs more ex + noisy..

Have you tried aspen before though? It has a very fresh smell, not the woody smell at all.

Wahh, don't say like that... Not desperate lah but I like agouti color, brown and original one

When you're picking up yours?

Hot nail huhh?? Hmm, ok, ok, will try it Thanks.

I mean the questions in my exam. I got study one, my exam nvr come out, those questions that came out one i nvr study, so dunno how to do

ohh.. poor you.. i hope you won't makan egg la.. the paper is over alrd. go play with your gerbils while i prepare my speech to explain to my mom on saturday + negotiation terms.. I think i have to offer things to her like 'i'll vacuum the floor and wash the car every weekends...

Hahaha... then good luck in ur negotiation.

Here're some pics of Kaytee Aspen Shavings


Attached thumbnail(s)

I tried Aspen once... when Pets Wonderland used to carry Aspen.... nice to use and I think gerbils would like it better since it has less dust and also it is heavier, means digging and making burrows is easier. Last time I use for my tortoise only LOL.... didn't have gerbils last time.

do they hv aspen?? i never see any??

u oledi know n teach good !! heheh

but do they hv aspen now??

I think the one she's talking bout is LM Animal Farms Shredded Aspen or the one under Sluis. I think la.

The one pet family has is the one I posted the pictures. Nope, PW used to have LM farms Aspen, now don't carry anymore. I can get the Kaytee Aspen if anyone would like to order with me.
