Title: Newspaper eating!!!
Post by: sneezer on March 05, 2011, 07:31

Hi I've always put newspaper in the bottom of the coop and then the wood shavings on top but recently one or two of the little sweeties has decided to shred the paper or any paper/kitchen roll which happens to be laying about, this would be fine but they have now started to fight over pieces(?) and before I could get to her one ate a piece which must have been a foot long!! I wonder what this new obsession is about??  :nowink:

I don't know but remember some printing ink isn't very healthy so please be careful and if you can in light of this new behavior think about changing the bedding.
