Can I Use Coffee Grounds As Bedding?

Yes, you can! Similar to cat litter, coffee grounds absorb moisture and are a great option for bedding. You can also mix them in with your current bedding (shavings, etc.) to help control odor. Be sure that you are using coffee bedding that is marked safe for animals on the bag. Companies go through the process to ensure the coffee bedding is dry, free from any harmful agents or caffeine, and ready for your flock. You don’t want to make your own coffee grounds bedding - keep this to the professionals. When making changes to your coop, be sure to start slow and make sure that your birds are happy with the adjustments.
