New substrate?

Quick report. Started using this - ECOBED CARDBOARD BEDDING (22 KG)
last week.

• The majority of the cardboard pieces are a good size and therefore ingestion risks are minimal. Does not stay stuck to food easily and falls off as soon as it reaches the mouth if it does.
• My boys are still happily able to burrow through it.
• Spot-cleaning is fantastic!!! Urates/fecal matter shows up brilliantly. Moisture is sucked out by the cardboard and the affected pieces are a breeze to spot/remove.
• Absolutely no dust.
• Excellent value for money!!! The bag is massive and will last the rest of the year for sure. Not bad for £13 delivered.

This is here in Britain but I'm 100% certain you'll find similar products in other countries. This is used in (was developed for) stables for horses first and foremost so that might help any search efforts

Thought I'd update this -

I've been using it for a good while now and will be sticking with it for the foreseeable future. I'm not even halfway through the bag yet. (This thread goes back a good few months).

[Finacard]

I just came across this thread. We produce and supply Finacard cardboard substrate which is used succesfully for many small animal such as guinea pigs, hamsters, degus, rabbits etc etc. The main advantage is that it is very absorbent and virtually dust free.

We do not have any experience with using Finacard for reptiles.

If any one would like to give it a go, I will happily supply some Finacard foc. Just e mail me.

I suspect that it will work well where the enviornment is not moist.
