Coconut husk (eco earth, bed-a-beast, etc.) is cheap, ultra absorbent, highly reistant to mold, allows for some burrowing, is digestable... and its even attractive. I cannot come up with another substrate that fits ALL those criteria.



So why isn't it more popular? Why are people using aspen and newspaper when this stuff is superior?
