In the Brooder
Hi all! I'm researching for my chick's brooder (planning to get them in February) and wondering about the use of a specific type of paper bedding. It's here: https://www.chewy.com/carefresh-com...gclid=CLTwtobp_tQCFQWDaQode1cKsA&gclsrc=aw.ds
I haven't in all my research seen people discuss this type of bedding. It's primarily meant for rodent cages, and I used it way back when I had hamsters, by it seems preferable to me for a brooder to pine shavings because there is no dust, it's super absorbent, and it's fluffy and soft. There is no scent or additives either. I know it's pricey compared to pine, or straw or shredded newspaper, but I'm not too concerned with that. I'll do most anything to cut down on dust!. Thoughts on if this is appropriate for chicks? I know to just use paper towel for their first week or so as they get acclimated and figure out their chick crumble. Thanks!
