    Re: Urgent substrate question?

    I agree, I think the concern isn't with what is in the substrate you are using or thinking of using, but what grows on it. Molds and spores don't take long to build up. First and foremost, I wouldn't use either as a substrate. If you are dead-set on using rabbit food for a substrate, spot clean daily, and change entirely at least 2x/week. Monitor closely for ventral scale health and respiratory ailments.
