If eaten, this would have denatured sugars and would be a dietary problem, which can lead to impaction (a digestive system blockage). Generally speaking, the humidity levels for Green Iguanas in their natural habitat are between 70 and Having too much humidity will have an adverse effect on kidney function in the long term. It is important to provide water bowls for soaking and to provide a source of humidity. There are a number of substrates that would work well for this project, such as paper towels, brown wrapping paper, Astroturf, You can also use lineoleum as long as you glue it down with a safe adhesive. Make sure to have extra pieces of Astroturf or carpet on hand so you can replace the old one while the old one is being cleaned and disinfected. The following substrates should be avoided The materials that are used to make potting soil include vermiculite, wood shavings, bark, rocks, sand, cedar shavings, gravel, corn cobs, cat litter, and bark with pesticides, fertilizers, It is not safe for your iguana to ingest any of these substrates, and they can cause damage to the intestines and I have received confirmation of this information from DrsFosterSmith.

When I order from Amazon, I discovered one bag of both Galapagos and Zoo Med bedding was about half the price of Zoo Med. Thus, I ordered both aspen bedding at equal prices. It was great to see them in such good condition. In the bag This is a handy aspect of the Galapagos bag. This is just the problem with the Zoo Med bag. The amount is The Galapagos islands It was 704 grams in size, which filled up a gallon container. The number of times is 5. The Zoo Medical Department This is equivalent to 4 times the amount of 1086 grams that would fill a gallon container.
Galapagos
Dust*
Zoo Med There is a lot of dust, I would say unhealthy levels of dust. While the dust was less than in Galapagos, it was still pretty significant.
If you do not want to use aspen bedding, I would recommend using a cypress mulch from the hardware store instead. A 4 out of 5 star rating That place is far too dusty for my taste.
Surely this little bag couldn't hold eight quarts of fluid, even if it were full, and it is about half full. I have attached a picture of the product still in its bag inside of a 4 QT container for your reference. The volume printed on the lid gives you an overview of the size of the bowl. If I dumped it out of the bag, I wouldn't even fill about four quarts of this bowl. It would be wise to avoid business with this brand. They use online buyers who trust specifications and can't see the product in person to take advantage of them.
The numerous issues reported with paper bedding related to mites and baking soda led me to buy this in place of the paper bedding for my rat's travel cage. I had to get a couple of bags of aspen since I live near neither a feed store nor a major pet store. But bigger bags are available at feed stores and larger pet stores. Generally I do not have any problems with it (it is not particularly dusty or too fine). My only wish is that the bag were.
We are very pleased with the actual product since everything is thoroughly cleaned and sieved, so there are virtually no dust particles at all. There are other brands that claim to be great, but they're not. One of our puppies died of a respiratory problem probably caused by dust from the bedding, and we've always suspected it was related to that. I would like to complain about the size of the bag apart from the cost. The bulk discount and larger order amounts we would like would be very helpful.
I have a western hognose snake-a burrowing species, and this bedding is perfect because she can burrow and keeps the tunnels closed. Despite that, if your species is not desert-adapted, it would be better to use a different bedding because it might cut their mouths.
When I used to use Aspen Digs, I found large pieces of the aspen were left behind which were too hard for my Tortice Hortense. I used to use Aspen but I stopped using it because it was shaved and left large pieces of the aspen. The shaved aspen is particularly uncomfortable for her during her pregnancy, when she is about to have eight eggs. Is Patricia* *gr>.
I find this item to be very useful There's not much dust in it, and it 'packs' nicely so that he doesn't collapse his tunnels. This material is easy to change and does a decent job of absorbing smells.
I had been wanting to get one for a while, so I decided to pay the money. I have a California King Snake who likes it, but he also likes ZooMed Aspen and I can get 24quarts for $11 at Petsmart. I made a side-by-side comparison, and I was unable to tell the differences between both.
