I have purchased this before, but unfortunately when I broke it open all the shavings that were in the middle were covered with mold. I guess they bagged it when it was moist and it molded.

I returned it to Petsmart (ugh!) and they didn't ask any questions, but did say that they do get that bedding in on a regular basis so it wasn't sitting on the shelf for long (so they say, and who knows how long it was in the warehouse?)

I'm still testing/trying different bedding, still not sure about fleece yet. I can't decide if I like it as much as kiln dried pine or aspen.

I'm not saying that all of that brand is bad and moldy, just saying that I once (well, the first and only time with this brand) bought it and it was moldy.

I checked online and this company also has a regular pine bedding (non kiln) that they sell at Walmart under a different label/brand. I have used this brand in the past and have had no problems (before I knew better about the aromatic oils).
