Hi everyone,
I have cockatiel chicks dying a couple of days after hatching due to the wooden shaving bedding. The material keeps getting stuck in the chick's beaks and nostrils and they don't survive as shown in the attached photos:
What are the best low-dust wooden shaving materials that could be used in the cockatiel breeding box?
Has anyone had any success with the following bedding materials:
Aspen shavings
Pine Shavings
Shredded paper
Please let me know your recommendations on the best bedding materials that is less likely to get stuck in the young chick's beak.
Thank you.
