substrate

[Mike Cavanaugh]

Just curious what everyone is using for their ASF's substrate.

I am currently using equine fresh because I purchased a bunch of it when I was breeding normal rats. But I wonder, since there is little to no smell with ASF's, should I just switch to aspen when I run out of the equine fresh??

I also give them a handful of shredded news paper for the nests. They seem to love it!

I use Equine Fresh as well and have no intention to ever switching back.

With ASF I only replace the Equine fresh every other weeks.

I just picked up 2 trios from Kelly on here and she reccomends Corn Cob, thats what she uses so I got the same.

Since I buy tons of aspen for my snakes, thats the same I use for my ASF. It seems to be just perfect for them.

Pine. Never had a problem with it....
I also give them timothy hay to chew up to make a nest...

Equine Pine works really good with a layer of aspen on top. To give them something to build there nest with.
