No, I feed them on Newspaper. The only thing I did different was thaw the pinks in the bag. Didn't throw them in hot water like usual. There were just a very few tiny squares of that hardwood medium (don't remember the name) on some of the pinkies. I think I got most of it off. Not enough to block her up and not so fast. Here is a pic from today. The bloat is postmortem gas. She's been dead at least 24 hrs. Notice how undersized her tail and extreme posterior is. I'm hoping its just a physical defect. Something isn't right about that tail. It looks a like some kind of polio afflicted extremity. Noticed a strange look to her tail when I got her. Thought it was just because it was somewhat striped.
