Posted - 05/10/2010 : 13:24:57 http://www.hamstercentral.com/community/housing/7698-megazorb-aubiose.html this might give a better idea :) I never knew they did 25kg bags!
Megazorb is a bit smaller in size and a bit cheaper (I think it weighs 17.5kg) but it's not as tightly compact as Auboise so you get more for your money in Aubiose but Megazorb is far better at sucking up poops. I have yet to try Aubiose out yet as I am still on my bag of Megazorb I bought in March, I am more than a bit half way through and it's between 4 snakes so it will last me for almost a year!
A word of warning though for these big bags of substrates that my dad has just pointed out to me, now that winters approaching and depending where you store it, you may want to store it in big box that are air/moisture tight or something or maybe bring them into the house. Ours is stored in our garage and if it is anything like what happened to our sawdust while in there, it kinda sweats and swells and open bags sometimes have had mice visiting it :3 |

Same but we live in the same place
It's still cheaper than what you would normally pay for snake bedding. I would give a check in the yellow plages for equine or farm shops though if you haven't next time.
Or there is this site, supposed to be very good I don;t know if it will be cheaper as the postage calc is playing up but Megazorb is also good. |

that was the problem for us hiper2009 , we couldnt find any in our local area and it probablys whould have cost us a lot more than the £7 delivery charge in petrol trying to find some Im sure it will work out a lot better in the long run though as weve been using beech chippings at £4 for a 5 litre bag
Yes i had that problem too i couldn't find it then i thought of all the farms around my area and went to one of them and a guy had a farmshop too so he sold it, May be best you seeking farms around your area and see if they sell it. But if you can't find it then its still a good buy for you online as its still cheaper then paying £4 each time for a 5L bag that don't last. |

Well i guess its about right but i wouldn't order it online due to the postage fee i get mine for £8.46 for a 25kg bale but i get it close by to me so i save quite bit.. |
