Help with chicks

Hi,
I’m at work and I have a baby monitor on my 5 day old chicks (I’m very anxious) and I can see they have ripped up their kitchen roll bedding (which I’m using for the first week until I change to pine) and they may have eaten some. The bedding is under their water (hanging water system) so I think they have wet the kitchen roll when drinking and then eaten it as it’s easy to rip when wet. I’m wondering if they’ll be okay and if there’s anything I need to do. I obviously can’t stop them until I’m home from work in a few hours. Are they going to be okay? What do you recommend I do now?
Thanks,
Beth

They will probably be ok and could have ripped them scratching around. I would switch to pine now so you don't have to worry about it, there's really no need to wait.
