Zaina Unregistered Z	A few days ago I caught Mia eating her bedding instead of her food! I used this cushiony paper type bedding. I use it for Sidney and there isn't a problem.I took it out immediatly and now theres no bedding. What bedding can I use for Mia? I'm just not sure.

Zaina Unregistered Z	Okay I'll use paper towel. Mia was actually eating it. She's still a baby and she wasnt eating much of her food and that was why. But when I removed the bedding, she at EVERY single thing I left on her plate. Shes a little piggy

It's really easy and I'm not wasting money on paper towels etc. Plus I like being able to add color to my tray. sometimes my glider Romeo will pull a corner of the fleece up but he doesn't really do to much with it. And I know it's not going to hurt him. I have about 3 fleece squares per cage.

Zaina Unregistered Z	Yea thats good too, but the only fleece I have isn't enought for bedding, I use it for bonding purposes. The Paper bedding I noticed getts really smelly and messy. the papertowels I can just replace.

I've been told colored paper is not good unless you can contact the newspaper and find out if they use vegetable dyes or something else. Vegetable dye is ok but others aren't.

monluvspagen Unregistered M	Yea my babies would definately pick up any paper they can and take it to make a nest lol Originally Posted By: NavyChiefWife I use fleece in mine. I really like it.

And I know it's not going to hurt him. I have about 3 fleece squares per cage. I cut my fleece big enough to fold under the tray so my kiddoes cannot pull the fleece through the grate. Of course I bought enough fleece for 3 huge squares at Joannes when the fleece was on sale.

Zaina Unregistered Z	I was thinking about using newspaper too but I was afraid the ink could harm them but I guess I have a few options. Theres an arts and crafts store around here so maybe I'll buy some fleece too . Is shredded newspaper good too? or like shredded paper?
