I've been away from the forum for a few weeks due to work, and unfortunately the reason I'm posting now isn't fun.

Rosie has a URI. He's doing rather well, and I'm nebulizing him with bisolvon and F10. However, he hates the nebulizing chamber, and I was wondering if I could pop some hay in it to make it less stressful.

Thank you in advance for your help! :)
 
The only scenario in which I imagine it could be dangerous is that some f10 will end up on the strands of hay and he'd eat it instead of inhaling it. It's a stretch, but I wanted to check before doing it just in case.
 
@RosieMaia Yep, I did it most of the time. He was a grouchy boy so he needed lots of distractions. I binned it every time he'd finished in the nebuliser.
 
I put hay in with Zig. F10 is safe even when wet so I wouldn’t be concerned about them eating it. Like the others I changed the hay each time (it can get mouldy as it’s damp). I also covered half the box (making sure there were enough free holes) with a towel to keep her happy.
