I agree with Jenea. I had to keep Easterns in a "natural exhibit" and I hated it. It was terrible to keep clean and to keep the right moisture in it. Hogs generally prefer sandy soils, since they are the easiest to dig in. I've been a big advocate of aspen shavings and currently I am trying out Carefresh (the blue colored stuff looks great with a Western!). I can see the desire to use what is "natural" for the hog, but frankly, there is NOTHING natural about four glass walls. There are many benefits to aspen shavings, and few detriments (don't feed on it).
