I set up a nesting box for my girl and filled it with play sand. Well, she tore her little face up trying to burrow in it. I've read about using vermiculite instead...some say it's great, others, not so much....is vermiculite a good option? It needs to be soft enough to not hurt her face when she burrows, but have a consistency that still allows it to be used as nesting substrate. Any advice would be helpful, thanks!
