I'm no expert, but I've kept my pair successfully for a little over a year now on aspen shavings. It works out pretty well, especially if you give them a "humid hide," like a plastic container filled with moist sphagnum with an access hole. The only problem is that you have to make sure they don't get a mouthful while eating.

I've looked for cypress mulch pretty much everywhere, and I can't find it. There is some reptile bedding product out there that is pure cypress mulch, but it tends to be pretty expensive. I live in CA, and bulk cypress mulch is nonexistent. ProExotics' website says that you can order it from them, though it may get pricey with shipping. Good luck.
