When my BTS was a baby he got put into a cage with older males, and they broke his jaw (this was due to an inexperienced breeder), so now, his jaw does not set right. I'm using cypress mulch because that was what was recommened to me by my vet. But the little pieces tend to get into his mouth and when he tries to get them off, it causes bleeding. So i was looking for something that does not have little pieces. Can i use orchid bark, or just some kind of large mulch? Thanks for any suggestions!

Get astro turf or some form of rubber flooring. It's easy to clean, plus you can see seminal plugs if they're dropped, and no little bits to be caught in mouths!
Luke. (This is recycled rubber matting. Generally used for door mats, childrens playgrounds and floor covering for utes. This is what I keep my blueys on).

I just use plain old newspaper for mine. It doesn't look too pleasent but it's easy to clean and it won't get stuck in his mouth either.

I bought some soft, grey indoor/outdoor carpet for mine & cut it to fit his cage. I got it at Home Depot for about $2, from which I cut 2 pieces, which I rotate.
