Don't know if the size you need is in there, but they have 3'x2' sheets, which is the exact size of my JCP cage... can't wait to get it.

if you want to compare prices...

http://www.uline.com/BL_1961/Indented-Kraft-Paper

I order stuff from these guys all the time.

Fabulous service, fast shipping ;)

If you get sheets, www.uline.com is a lot more expensive... that's more than $50 for 200 sheet of 3'x2'.

I got it for less than $50 shipped from www.restockit.com, and shipping took up more than half of that.

Hey slim I was actually just doing a search for it myself and found this site...

24" X 360' (Roll) for $26 plus shipping, not bad if you ask me.

I can't see buying sheets either...next time I will be more specific...I was referring to the rolls.

I prefer natural looking substrate, because it looks good. ;) What absorbs faeces the best?

Otherwise I might have to switch to news paper or a different paper substrate. :(

What paper substrate is the best? I once heard of indented craft paper...anybody know that stuff?

Thanks,

you should get coconut fiber it absorbs the humidity as well as piss

Been there, done that. My carpet moves it around too much, the stuff is too light.

I think I'll go with indented craft paper as it has a nicer look than newspaper.

what i do soon as they poop and if i bearly changed the bedding i just clean out the poop and the bedding around it and then just fill it back up but like i said in my other comment use "coconut-fiber" it really holds humidity so u wont have to be spraying every 5 seconds and it also holds urate(pee)
