Can 2 week old emu use Pine shaving bedding?

[kelseygirl707]

Hey guys!

Tomorrow I plan to move Mu over to a larger brooder in the garage. She is out-growing her mastiff dog crate fast, LOL. Right now she has a towel and blanket as beeding, but is pooping soo much I have to wash it daily. So when I move her over, can I put her on pine shavings like I would chicks, or will she eat them like she tries to do with everything else?

Also She had runny poop, then was back to normal on Monday, then yesterday she is back to runny, is this normal, or am I feeding wrong. She doesn't seem to care about veggies or clover when I give them to her.

Thanks,
Kelsey

Typical fecal is a bit runny get concerned when its too solid
I keep mine on the larger pine shavings/chips from tsc

Ok, Whew! Although last night it was very runny, almost watery, is that bad?

Oh and I use Pine Shavings from the feed store, hope that will be ok for her, they aren't really chips.

I use Aspen shavings for bedding...works great too.
