mites question

lmao

what if i popped the stuff in a microwave for like 20 seconds...certainly that would kill any living organism living in there...I mean, look at what it did to the Gremlins :D

Not to sure about the micro, but you can bake it on low for about 30 minutes in the oven and they say that works. Personally since i had my lil problem i PAM my substrate that i plan on using and then wait a day, just to make sure all fumes and such are gone then i change the bedding in my rack. I do this personally because i dont like the smell of roasting wood in my house! Since then not one lil creepy bug!

The microwave will not work, bake the aspen on the oven at 250 for 15 min. Keep and eye all the time to be sure that nothing bad happen, if so dial 911 and forget what I just said.....

I use newspaper, no bake needed, free beeding if you buy it to read it every day anyway.

Hope it was only a minor problem.

I'm really digging the paper towels...I may not end up switching except the humidity has dropped 10%, guess the aspen was holding humidity better.

If my girlfriend comes over and sees me baking aspen chips, shes gonna really think I lost it

Yeah the paper towels do loose humidity alot faster! Just a tip that worked for me, you can move your water dish closer to a heat source either over head or belly heat and that helped me alot when they were in cages.

I'll try that. I have a UTH but one of his hides sit over it. I think i can get both close enough on there at least to see if the humidity goes up..if not, I'll probably just revert back to aspen

Yeah everyone has there preffered choice of substrates, what ever works best for you! Good luck

thanks for the tips bud :)
