Re: The Best Substrate

I'm trying to switch from newspaper - so far with mixed results
everything else I've tried so far ends up in the grooves of the sliding doors
I've thought of that repti-carpet stuff, but then I have to take everything out when it needs to get changed
the newspaper I put in in smaller overlapping sections, and I put in several layers, so that I can just whip out soiled sections and about every six weeks the whole thing gets redone
I wonder whether there's a way to segment the repti-carpet - like tiles
some of my cages have stuff on top of the paper, like some carefresh or some loose sphagnum moss

has anyone here tried that new excavator substrate for any of their other critters?
it's sort of off-topic, since garters don't really dig
I was thinking my hognose might like it
