Tricky Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 I've always used newspaper to line the bottom of Jack's cage, but I've read on a few sites that some people recommend using sand or wood shavings. What does everyone here use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Stick with the newspaper, its cheap especially if you already get the paper like I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky Posted July 15, 2007 Author Share Posted July 15, 2007 Good point. :laugh: I guess I will. Sand could also be terribly messy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talon Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Tricky, Welcome to the Family here. Newspaper is the cheapest and easiest to clean up. Looking forward to hearing more about Jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lidia Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Newspaper is fine, but stick to black and white, because they can chew it sometimes and the chemicals in coloured paper are toxic. B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Good point Lidia, hadn't thought of that.:ohmy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RdnkParamedic21 Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Yes Lidia is right, I was told that by a vet a few years back. However, I was told it was all newspaper ink, colored or b&w, would become toxic when wet. My birds got papertowels on the cage floor after hearing that.

judygram Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Well I have a grate that separates the bottom of the cage from her area so she cannot get to the paper anyway, so if that is the case it is safe to use for cage lining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
