Is grass an okay filler bedding?

Question

Can someone tell me if wild un-weed-killer-poisoned grass is an okay bedding/nesting filler, like Timothy Hay, because I sprinkled a handful of it inside my gerbilarium.

Answer 1

No.  Cut grass, if not properly dried out (like hay is), starts to ferment immediately when it is severed.  It can give your pets a bad tummy ache, and possibly even kill them.
