    Re: What kind of bedding You use in your Rack???

    Newspaper for my adults. Sometimes I'll use Aspen for my new sub adults I buy. I like to give them about 4 inches of Aspen and let them bury themselves if they want to. This is only to get them settled in and less stress. Once they're in their enclosure for a month or more, I'll switch them to newpaper.

    Newspaper, paper towels, aspen, and cypress mulch depending on the time of year and the animal.

    Paper towels. A little more expensive, but I think they soak up spills much better than newspaper. Creates less of a humidity problem if I can't get to them until later in the evening.

    Packing Paper or Newspaper.

    I have used Aspen before. But newspaper is so much easier.

    I have tried Mulch before, but I didnt like how dusty it got when it gets dry, maybe I had a bad kind? who knows.

    I use unprinted packing paper (Home Depot) in my tub. I use cypress mulch in my custom wood eclosure, and originally used cypress in my tub that I set up a month ago, but switched to the packing paper because my humidity was too high with the cypress.

    Re: What kind of bedding You use in your Rack???

    I desperately wanted to switch to Sani-Chips from newspaper, because it looks highly absorbant, so I could simply scoop out the soiled bedding (urine and all), and replace it, rather than having to remove everything from the bin every time. NO one local carries it, or can even get it.

    aspen for my tank, pretty cheap and seems absorbant and easy to see when its soiled.
