cheapest-bedding and water bowls.

Looking for the cheapest bedding and water bowls.
Where do I buy and what do I use?
I am wanting something for a tank, so something that looks good (not newspaper and or paper towels) Where do I purchase products.? thanks for any help.

You can get big bags of aspen bedding at shows super cheap. For the water bowl it depends on what you are looking for and how big you want it to be. I get small white croc dishes from Pier One of all places for a buck each. I'm a pretty basic kinda guy, so I don't usually go for the fancy stuff.

You can get pretty cheap water bowls at pet stores or get a crock dish at the dollar store for, well a dollar.

You can get some cheap small animal aspen. I think it looks pretty nice and its like $5 a bag.

Deli cups make good bowls too. Not too heavy though, so they can be tipped. Dk about the price, either. Sorry. :(

walmart sells croc dishes last time i checked, it depends where your located as to what the price is on aspen, the only place i can find it sell a 3.5 cu ft which turns into 5.5 for 18.95!!!! pine from there is 13.65!!!! insane i know

Matt, Here is about the best deal I can find on Aspen. Approx 20 quarts for $4.95...

That is what I use too but I recently saw a post about getting inkless newspaper. Does newspaper ink harm the bps?

I used to deliver newspapers when I was younger. You'd be suprised what that does to you. When you're done for the day your hands are all black because of the ink, and over time you can actually smell the ink and newspapers.

I can't imagine a snake would enjoy that too much. Inkless newspaper if at all possible. Most newspaper printers will sell you the end of the rolls for extreamly cheap because they can't use it.

thats only at one store in town, i make to little trip out to TSC for Pine for the rodents 6 ish bucks for the bag. I use newspaper for the snakes

Sorry about that, for some reason I thought you were the OP... That's what happens when my net surfing gets interrupted by work... :D

The ink is made from soy and poses no threat to the animal but some people dont like the stains it leaves on lighter colored animals like albinos for example.

We have a Junk bowl cabinet and i just used whatever was available. Thats when i noticed we have like 30 coolwhip bowls. I havn't eaten coolwhip in like 20 years. So i ask my wife whats up with all the coolwhip bowls. She said she eats it instead of icecream. Its the light coolwhip. And im like 30 BOWLS?
And for the substrate you can go to a feed and grain store for horses and buy huge bags of Equine fresh for a few bucks that will last you forever.
