    Aspen
    I have a question about Aspen, do you guys bake it before it goes in the tank? Or how do you guys clean it?

    never heard having to do this, i mean i heard of doing this with bark and what not, but aspen bedding, atleast the kind i buy is meant to go straight into the tank, i have been using it without putting it in the oven first and have had no problems....

    HOWEVER, i have seen different types of aspen bedding, like ones that come in bags that dont have pictures of reptiles on it and are meant for something else, those, i dont know if u would have to bake or not, but i doubt it...

    I have the Aspen that they use for hamsters and rabbits. Is that the same thing?

    As long as it's not the sort of aspen chips you would use for a garden; those manufacturers don't care if there are bugs in it. Anything manufactured for pets should be bug-free.
