Oops - I read "Never use burlap..." rather than "Never used burlap..." Had me scared there for a moment thinking I'd have to rethink the entire wrapping scheme.

Be well,

What problems do you forsee with bubble-wrap and burlap? What alternatives would there be other than building a really tall cage and stuffing it with straw?

Thanks,
Mike

Never used burlap or bubble wrap either, Mike. Others swear by bubble wrap though, and many folks use the burlap also.
