She is more likely to be pouching the bedding than eating it. Check the Carefresh bag though - some older stock had bicarbonate of soda in, in the US. What does it say on the bag, what is the serial number and date? I guess liquid paraffin could be giving her the runs. As Nancy says though, maybe some more advice from a vet is needed. To be honest that didn't sound like great advice to me, from a vet. Was it an exotic vet, because I think that's what you need if you're in the US. If you're in the Uk then the Carefresh is fine, it never had the bicarb added in the Uk.
