New purple substrate!

Postby PlinkoPachinko » Sat May 12, 2012 5:04 pm

The amazing pet store I go to in NYC didn't have shaved aspen :doh:

I was pretty annoyed, but I'm always willing to try something new. I picked up this stuff called sunseed fresh world bedding. Plinko was so confused by it! :edward: I love when you change their bedding/furniture and all of a sudden their entire world has changed!

I used that for my chinchillas. I was very pleased with it, but never used it for the skinks.

We'll see. It's a bit dusty, but kinda fun to play with. It's kinda like little paper balls or something. I'm keeping a close eye on him to make sure he doesn't try to eat any, but he doesn't seem interested. Seems like it'll be easier to spot clean than the aspen shavings that he had before. I'll keep you guys posted!

They don't have shaved aspen in the pet stores here too, only shredded. :( Such a bummer.

He's such a cutie pie! :D
