Thank youDo not use aromatic cedar.
I prefer straw flakes shoved tight into nests and bowled out a bit in the middle.
Thank youDon't use cedar. Pine is much better for them. In my nesting boxes, I have cardboard on the bottom with pine shavings for them to form their nest in.
ThanksI use baled straw. They love it.
