    And Calci sand says its Digestable There are ZERO regulations on what they can and cant put on the bag. They could make rusty nails a product and say its 100% safe

    Around here I stay away from Flukers, ive seen to many people buy their substrates and get some free mites added in.

    They also had a contests a long time ago and gave away free reptiles. Free VERY sick reptiles that mostly died shortly after the new owners got them.

    sorry for the rant

    Come here little guy. You're awfully cute and fluffy but unfortunately for you, you're made of meat

    I suppose that depends on your definition of "natural".

    Neon red aspen is not found in nature.. Last I checked.

    Right, I am just saying the stuff they use to color the aspen is all natural. I thought you were implying that this item is manufactured to be similar to aspen, but is made of man made products.

    No I was just pointing out that it is really not "natural". The dyes might be natural but really, how natural is fluorescent red wood dye?

    Natural does not mean 'safe'.

    Some of the most toxic poisons and venom are "natural". Cedar is natural, and is toxic. Same with arsenic.

    Some red dyes are still toxic despite being naturally occurring.
