Top soil as alternative bedding for mice

[breederfeeder]

Topsoil - Brilliant! I actually just tried Cypress mulch with fantastic results for both my mice and rats. I live in a dry climate so there's nothing getting wet or turning to mud. Rodent bedding is a huge expense, it's probably a quarter of my total costs raising ball pythons. Anything to cut those costs and keep the animals healthy is a bonus. I'm going to try it next!

how often did you need to replace the mulch? Winter months Home Depot doesn't sell topsoil. For now, I been using cat litter. Cheapest cat litter I found was from Tractor Supply which comes out to be 14 cents a lb. Topsoil nothing but soil 4 cents per lb for $1.49 for 40 lb bag of dirt. Just imagine the economy to scale
