I just switched to terrycloth towels. My Vet told me to try it. The advantages are that when they soil it, you just pull it out, scrape it off, and put it into the wash (when your wife’s NOT home). Of coarse you want a spare towel to put in right away. I think it looks better than newsprint and it evenly disperses heat so you don’t have hot spots. It’s hard to sanitize your enclosure when you use wood chips! It used to take me 30 minutes with bark to do it correctly, now its just minutes. You can even play around with different colors. I got my Ralf Loren towels from Ross for 3 bucks each. It made my wife’s friends crazy when they thought I used our good towels!
