probably would be easy to ingest for them being that its all in peices, also not so easy to keep clean,i would go for plain ole papertowels for babies, i think thats your best bet, or go buy a roll of butchers paper, also a great thing to use.

I wouldn't use any substrate that wasn't a large single piece (paper towels, carpet, etc.)
It's not worth the risk.

i have no experience with lizards on this bedding, but i had some baby pheasants and they injested it, and minutes later they died, some of them injesting big pieces exploded in a way. it was gross. The carefresh expands when wet, made mostly for small animals . Its good for them, but i would not risk it for a beardie.
