    Retic bedding?

    What does everyone use as bedding for their retic? I am currently just using newspaper but he seems to destroy it and bunch it up in about a day.

    Hmmm I'm using newspaper w/ paper towels for my girl and she's content. Maybe give your guy some more foliage and he won't destroy his tub/tank?

    Mine is on newspaper also. Hasn't been a problem, but individuals do different things. I do have a corn that pushes all of his paper to the back of his tub within minutes.

    I use cypress mulch. Easy to spot clean, keeps humidity up, and absorbs smell. =3 (plus it looks better than newspaper)
    Mine's bigger.

    I use a few layers of newspaper with a sheet of Disposable Cage Liner on top of that...Stays in place pretty well.
