ValerieR Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Silly newbie question - made up a dustbath (in a cat litter tray) for my bantam girls, using a mix of builders sand and compost. They scoff it constantly. ?? Is that ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Probably not, but they'll be fine It might look like they're eating more than they are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValerieR Posted April 18, 2010 Author Share Posted April 18, 2010 They eat about as much as they do pellets and seem to have a rare time whilst they are at it! I have tried them with treats and they are not very interested - turned their beaks up at GRAPES! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValerieR Posted April 18, 2010 Author Share Posted April 18, 2010 Your run is fab BTW - did you make it yourself or use a kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Mine eat the dust bath too, not a huge amount but they do seem to find it tasty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanTheDiver Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Mine eat their dustbath constantly, I use Playsand, compost & diatom. They have been doing this since I got them last August and they seem fine and lay lovely eggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
