You should stop using it ASAP.

If it smells strong to you, then it will have an even stronger smell for your pigs as their noses are much more sensitive.
Stuff like that may say it's for guinea pigs, but it's just to sell it. Just like how wheels and balls say they are for guinea pigs, but they're not good for them at all.

Pine is fine as long as it doesn't smell 'piney'. If you get some and it has a noticeable odour, simply air away from the guinea pigs it until the odour goes away. It's inhaling that which is thought to be dangerous for them.

Now I'm sure that I'm using the safe type of pine shavings.

As long as the pine shavings is kiln-dried, it's safe

Snce your mom is buying supplies, I can betcha she won't want to buy carefresh (I don't like it as I have found it to be dusty anyhow!!). and wood beddings arent great- use newspaper! RECYCLE! LOL I line our cage with one full sunday paper and the kids shred newspaper for the bedding. The pigs like it, it's easy to keep clean, and it's practically FREE. If you guys don;t buy newspapers, just ask others to save them for ya!
