hi Andy,I have been using dry weeds for nesting beds. It seems to work well. But first I built a wooden box to put it in, they don't scratch it out as bad. then I  put the weeds in it. They tend to scratch a lot, but I refill it when needed and if there are any insects in it, leave them in it, they will eat them. :)
