If you want tunnels read my articles on 9" Aspen
Bedding undergrounds
posted yesterday.
Sand is messy and way too brittle for any
practical use inside a typical home
setup. Issue to consider is tank size, safe
tunneling, hygiene and practicality.

Subject: Alternatives to Wood
Shavings
Hi
I am sure this has been discussed before but I have
missed the discussion
but, I would like to give my gerbils an alternative
to wood shavings.
Something they can dig tunnels in which would be firmer
and hold the tunnels
and borrow systems. I have read messages asking
if you can use "dirt" to
which the answer has been no, but what can you
use? Sand would not hold up
to tunnelling, not unless its kept
permanently wet which I would imagine
would cause respiratory
problems. I have one perpetual digger who at the
moment only achieves
kicking the woodshavings all out of the mesh acquarium
lid, or burying her
sister LOL!
Can anyone give me any guidance please, I'd like to try
them on
something
different?
Beki
