I don't know about that, just know we did down in Sonoma County which has 
the most tenacious, sticky, EVIL red clay in the world <g>  We use the old 
dry wall under the rabbit cages because it keeps the odor way down.  Then 
when we scraped up the rabbit "pellets," we scooped sheetrock and all and it 
went into the compost heap.  Worked great!
