I agree, newspaper sucks, but it is harmless and cheap. I use pine for my feeders, but don't use it for my pets. I find sometimes my feeders get a bit wheezy and sneezy on the stuff, but it doesn't concern me because they aren't destined for a long life anyways. I used to use pine for pets as well, but have switched in the past few years and have found much better results
Many people (not myself yet, as my rodents are not in their "old age yet" as I have only been housing them on alternative substrates for about 3 years now) have found that since they switched, the animals they though were previously thriving on pine, were living much longer, improved lives on substrates that didn't contain phenols.
