Would coconut bark be alright to use? So that my boy can bury himself.

No. Aspen shavings are my preferance and carefresh would probably ve the runner up.

I use a mixture of mostly fir bark and some pine shavings in my substrate for my BTS. I've tried many different kinds. She seems to love the fir bark and the pine shavings the most. I think the pine shavings are soft enough so she bury herself in it. Even more so before she sheds. As far as cocoanut bark i don't know. If it's not harmful the only thing i can suggest is try it out and see how they like it.

I've used carpet, aspen & carefresh. All were good, but the aspen made Indigo sneeze. He seems good w/ the carefresh.
