Choking On Shavings, Need Quick Substitute For One Night!

[Jenn F]

I have ordered uhaul pads for fleece liners, but they will not be in until tomorrow.

However, Archie is trying to ingest his carefresh bedding and is choking and coughing. I had to rub this throat to get him to cough up a giant chunk. What can I put him on until I can sew everything tomorrow? I have the fleece. I was thinking of cutting the fleece to size, and putting a few towels underneath (not sewing them) for today and tomorrow while I sew away.

Advice, please!

Use an old bathroom towel or just newspaper if necessary; it's perfectly OK for one night.

I wonder why he is eating the Carefresh. Don't take offence but has Archie got plenty of hay to eat as they do need a lot of hay throughout the day.

Fleece and towels work really well - I would just put a layer of newspaper underneath them for extra absorption

Yes, he has a giant hay rack full, and a large pile of hay in the corner. He eats it by the handfuls.

Thanks @Jenn F . This means I will avoid Care Fresh in my C and C runs then.

FWIW, I have had countless hamsters that have used it, and my bunny currently has some in her litter box. None of them do this. Archie is unique in this, but it is something to watch out for.

I kept my piggys in one night and I put Aubiose and shredded paper in thier cage. My piggys started to eat the shredded paper! Is this okay?
