I have a young Sulcuta and when i keep it in the house what should i use as bedding for it? It is outside most of the day but it is still too small to leave out. What would be best for him in the house? Thanks

I just started using ummm... Corn cob bedding? I think that's what it is called i bought it at the Feed and grain store that i go to. I tried using sand but then he started eating it.. i tried hay but everytime he gets out of the soaking tub it got moldy but the corn stuff is the best yet becuase if he does eat it that's ok and it doesn't stick to him when hes wet. I've also started using it on my larger sulcata and my bird cage
Hope that helps

I use aspen, I wouldn't use corn cobb bedding, I've heard bad stories about it. I've used orchard grass hay, its the best but u have to be willing to deal with the constant aroma. I have used carefresh, but my torts like to eat it, so I stopped. Hemp is good, but expensive for my 72 sq foot enclosure, all and all aspen seems ok, this is the second time in 5 yrs that I've had them on it and its working well.

Just my 2 cents.

What negatives have you heard about with using it?
Thanks
