Carefresh bedding

[bock]

We have a big bag of Carefresh bedding left after our hamster passed.

I was wondering if I could use this for the chicks so it doesn't go to waste. Would it hurt them if they accidentally ate some of it? Thanks !

What is it made out of?
ETA - if it is the Basic bedding that looks like it would be OK to use

Oh, I saw that at TSC. They had their new baby rabbits in it. I love it but not sure if you can use for the chicks.

Looks to be made just for use with small animals.

Yeah, that's what it is. We have the ''natural'' one without any dies. So it isn't a good idea to use it for the chicks? All well, I will just give it to someone else with a small pet. Thanks!

Chicks are small animals. At least what I could see from their website I don't see any reason not to use it with chicks. I prefer fresh shavings myself, but if I already had the stuff on hand I'd probably use it.

I just started using a similar product by Kaytee yesterday. http://www.drsfostersmith.com/produ...=1344163815&catargetid=1580815770&cagpspn=pla

I would of went with the natural colored ones by Carefresh but figure I'll try it in white so it'll be easier to spot their droppings and hopefully with it being white the chickens wouldn't pick on it. I don't have alot of birds so it's not too bad on the wallet for me and these do expand quite a bit. We'll have to wait and see if how the chickens do in it within the next couple of weeks

lol these type of beddings are just not meant for chickens. Work well when you first put it in but just after a few days it got more dusty than any other type of beddings I have tried.
