    Re: Feeder substrate

    Corrupter...

    For me it is way better. I was using aspen for all of my rats. I would clan their tubs at least 2 times a week. Now I only have to change them once every 6-8 days. I also was using a bag of aspen a week...costing me $12.50. Now I use 1 bag of Equine Fresh every 6-8 days...costing me $6.00.

    I have 80+ rats and most are on the Equine Fresh.

    and as I have said before, the smell is greatly reduced.

    Thanks for helping me realize the greatness that is equine pine So to stretch the bag enough to cover so much, I am guessing you only need enough to cover the bottom? I have been using like 2" of my aspen/pine combo in the tanks so far...

    Re: Feeder substrate

    Went to tractor supply today. For 9.89 I got a ~140 L of Aspen, 6.02 for 40lbs of Equine fresh and 3.49 for a 16 oz water bottle. Not too bad, just got all the mice in the tubs, we had quite a few preg females straight from the store, so I gave everyone a equine/aspen mix + a little aspen pile in one corner for a nest.
