Hello all! It's been awhile since I posted here but I'm a frequent reader. I have some baby uro's coming (5months) in a couple of days and it was suggested to use wild bird seed (primarily millet)...well, I bought a big bag of premium wild bird seed and it's FULL of little black bugs..YUCK! Now, I had uro's and a beardie before and I always used Repti Sand but I'm concerned with these guys being so little if that's the right choice. I can take this big bag of seed back and go get a couple of smaller bags sealed in clear plastic so I'll know they don't have any visible bugs but I'm concerned now that the seed will attract bugs. Any suggestions? I'm about ready to just go get my trusted Repti Sand and go with that.
