Well... we're going to try it shortly... and while I do like ReptiChip, I've never really tried anything else. I do like the smaller and finer texture of Reptile Prime better to the eye. ReptiChip, although its supposed to be good for humidity, I still had to mist often.

I think Reptile Prime is a bit more expensive, but if its good I have no problem with the investment.

It seems like it would be even easier for them to swallow this stuff than just about anything else, because it's so fine that it is bound to get stuck all over the rodents and the animals will no doubt be dragging it in their water dishes constantly. For those reasons, I have to stick with paper towels...
That is really the only fear I have, that finer substrate is easier to stick to prey. But, hey, many use it with no problem, so it can't be that bad.

I would have preferred paper towels or blank newspaper stock, but when I used the paper towels humidity was horrendous.
