I would still feed once a week. I feed all my babies 2x's per week, and the ones that only go every couple to three weeks get fed 1x per week.
Aspen is great, but a little dry. If your animals don't have shedding problems because of it, it's one of the best substrates available. I have always fed animals that were kept on aspen right on it and never had a problem (and most times they would swallow some with the food). I have never seen anyone provide any proof that aspen is dangerous if injested, and thousands of people use it & feed on it. Corncob & cypress have been known to cause impaction, so I would stay away from them.
Hope this helps, good luck. ----- Chad Bachman
