A good rule of thumb for "baby uros" is to keep them on

paper. I use butcher paper but newspaper is more readily

available and easy to change out when soiled.



I always keep young uros on paper from 6-9 months of

age but this also depends on their size. If they are large for

say, six month old juveniles, then you can continue to doing

your homework on just what you want them on in the next

few months. In the mean time, just use paper till you decide.



There's little chance for young juveniles to develop intestinal

blockage if kept on paper till they're six to nine months of age.



Yeah, take the bug riddled seed bag back and get your hard

earned money back ... for sure!



John
