LOL well hopefully with the tiles I'll never have to clip my girl's nails :rofl:

It does keep their nails down :) My tiles ARE pourous because they haven't been treated. They're rough and still have the nicks and grooves in them. Looking back now, I'm probably going to get some treated ones when I get a bigger cage for her, but they work for now. After she goes, I just spray down the area with Virusan and wipe it down well.

Personally, my fave part is the heat they hold. She doesn't even need a basking rock, so just spreads out right on the tile lol

As you can see, these are really large tiles. You can get smaller ones and just put more down. The one thing I did forget to mention: because these are untreated, they do tend to get her belly a little dirty when she lays on it. Nothing a good bath doesn't clean up, but still... one more reason why I think I'm going to go with a different set at some point.

i use shelf liner granted i have to clean it every day maybe 2x a day but all i know is im soo happy i dont use sand its so dusty and it smells after a couple days

desert blend by zilla is the best looks like sand but its actually ground english walnut shells wont cause impaction passes right through them just if you want something that looks natural plus has pleasing smell

The problem with sand or crushed walnut is they will eat it out of curiosity, not just if there is food in it.

And crushed walnut is 'said' by the producer to not cause impaction, but it still very well can because it will actually absorb liquids and expand in the stomach.
