Corn fluff is a natural fiber. It is the husk covering the corn
on the cob that are dried. It is closer to the natural material that gerbils
use in the wild. Anyrthing with cotton or wool is dangerous for nursing
babies. Also toliet paper is fatal to little babies just born.
??? I've not had a fatality yet linked to unscented undyed toilet
tissue. Would you elaborate please?
understand your concern about caring for the gerbils. I have been
caring for
the little guys for over ten years now. You can take my word that they are
not harmed. Otherwise why would I subscribe to this mailing list, but to
help others take care of their gerbils. There are too many dangerous stuff
on the pet supplies market today.
My comment on the dissolve test still stands. I don't use anything
for bedding and nest material in my tanks UNLESS it will pass the
twenty minute soak/dissolve test.
[My hubby's allergic to pine and I couldn't afford aspen or carefresh,
so I use a shredded recycled paper product (soft rip edges not cut)
that looks like old mushmances and phonebooks.]
