| Be cautious with Easter grass,,,some stray away from the baskets and they wind up in the sweeper..all around the roll bar...sometimes causing the belt to break,,we all know how wonderful those belts smell when they get hot!
Some use shredded green paper or even newspapers as the bedding in the baskets of treats.
I have a roll of green wrapping paper from Christmas,,might use that ,cut in strips as the fillers. |

| Cats will also eat the grass and it can get caught in their throats

| | We always use green tissue paper instead of grass...we always have homemade treats and maybe one pre-packaged treat in our baskets...it's MUCH cheaper!!! |
