Substrates/Enclosure Floor Coverings
For the majority of the animals in our care; especially those in quarantine, we use Newspaper as a standard floor covering for the enclosure. Although it is not naturally what the animals would have in the wild, it is necessary for us in a Rescue capacity. We currently use the following:
- Newspapers
- Toilet Roll or Kitchen Roll inserts (Great as hides for snakes)
- Aspen Bedding
- Beech Chips
- Moss (For creating humidity)
