Biking along the boulevard
Yes I know what an odd question coming from me
We've always used Care Fresh bedding but my b/f wants to change and see how it goes I am perfectly happy staying with care fresh We've used it for the last 2 1/2 years with no problems that I know of caused by the bedding.
I know unscented Pine is fine - BUT have you seriously ever tried finding it? We were at our local tractor supply(we don't have many choices to go buy things from) it said unscented - the scent about killed me! And that was through a CLOSED BAG!
the only other options were
Red Ceder
Aspen
Corn Cob (Which i know is a BIG NO NO )
and that was about it. and I don't recall the bags of Red ceder, or Aspen saying UNSCENTED just the one bag of Pine and it didn't even look like very big chunks and I was able to smell Pine very strongly through a sealed bag
I don't want to use anything with small chunks, I want big chunks the birds can not accidental feed to the babies and the babies can not accidental ingest on their own - I've never had it happen with care fresh - I don't plan on it happening if we do change the bedding we use.
also how about just giving them grass in their nest box - Like Timothy Grass ( I KNOW ITS SAFE) we give it to them to eat, Plus when we thought the Doves were Male/Female we put it in their nest bowl (they use bowels not boxes) and it made a nice cushion nest for them and their eggs it would be dry of course we buy it in bags
