Couldn't hurt to clean up the poo. Can't chew on something that's not there.

Yes I know that and I do but I can't possibly get every last dropping she has when I'm at work . I do my very best to keep her cage clean and poop free. I was concerned about there being a health issue by the fact that she is even interested is "chewing" it to begin with.

So what if she only comes out for millet? If that's what it takes to earn her trust and get her comfortable with you, then keep doing it! Teach her to associate good things with you, and over time, she can learn to search you out for something other than just millet!


Another page recommending brewers yeast.

Most definitely will keep doing it, that stuff is like candy to her she loves it, and I will be purchasing the brewers yeast. Thanks for link
