I agree with Jeff DO NOT use sand as a substrate it make look nice but it doesn’t help you’re animal in any way and in fact can cause major health issues. Most people on these forums will use either Aspen or newspaper, personally I use newspaper with all of my sub-adults and Eco Earth for some of my other animals. I prefer not to feed on any substrate other then newspaper as there is NO risk of swallowing it. Newspaper may not look nice but in my opinion is the best hands down substrate and I have been using it for 15 years with no problems at all, remember you can shred some newspaper to give your animal the ability to borrow which most milks love to do, just FYI if your using under tank heating don’t go overboard with the shredded newspaper as it can loose heat easily.
