Bedding

Hi all.
Fairly new to forum so please move of in wrong place.
I posted yesterday about baby karakiki I'm hand feeding. I'm trying to locate safe wood shavings and the only Aspen I can find that delivers to me in Ireland is the reptile version. I will post pic and if anyone can tell me if this is suitable I would be very grateful
Thanks in advance

Yeah I read that....it's just I was looking at a different brand that said it was for birds but it was made from pine which I've read can't be used. So was just double checking as this is for reptiles that it wouldn't be too small etc for fear of the baby ingesting it

Pine is okay as long as it is the big shavings rather than the fine versions.

Thanks Ali. I thought it was the scent from all Pine lol.
Learning everyday thanks for your help

@Zara can clarify for me...

Aspen shavings are the most recommended, but fine aspen are not recommended for birds.
Coarse pine is ok. Fine pine, is a no no.
Cedar is toxic. Sawdust is a big no no too.

So check how coarse that bedding is.

Thanks @Zara that's why I put up the pic. I know it says can be used for birds but I wasnt sure how suitable it really was as I can't see how fine it is.
