 KJ> What does anyone out here use as liners/bedding for their baby brooders?
>Kathy, I ran into something interesting that is used to pad the bottom

>what it is made of but it looks like a thin, 1/4 in, felt liner. I am
>certain that is made of sturdier stuff cause they had a whole tub full

If thats the thing I'm thinking of, it's rather abrasive feeling. I'll
go check one out to be sure.
>I normally use mounds of crinkled up newspaper with paper towels over

I tried this, but with small babies like conures, they fall over between
the mounds.

I love Brawny...it fits the brooders so much better than the other kinds
do. I think they make it just for bird breeders...
