Freezing bedding as a way of treating it?
Hey guys!
First of all I'd like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, and a Happy Holiday season. I've been very busy and occupied with work, and year end chores, so I haven't had a chance to come around lately. :/
I bought Timmy a new home for Christmas! I bet he can't wait!! 
I'm just wondering if Freezing his aspen bedding will kill anything(bugs of course), apposed to baking it. I don't like the sound of putting wood in the oven, I guess I'm just paranoid.
Thanks! |

...No it's not used.
After a past problem with having bugs in my bedding(from the pet store), I now treat my bedding just in case. Is there a problem with that? because I always thought it's a good practice to treat your bedding.

Freezing it will be fine. I was paranoid to put stuff into the oven first, but I finally did it and am well over it now lol.

Ill assume that you are seriously asking that question...(not just blowing off steam)
No, I do not believe there is a problem with treating your bedding just in case. However, I do think it is quite possibly...unnecessary. Happy Holidays.

You act like the question was fully answered.
How long would you have to freeze it? Overnight? a Week? 6 months?
just some suggested questions to ask if you are that interested in freezing your aspen bedding.
