Opinions on using megazorb please. Using kitchen towel at the moment after problems with Auboise.
Do any of you megazorb users feed in the viv/RUB without putting anything down?
Thanks |

I've used megazorb in the past for about a year. I didn't get any bugs, smells nice of egg boxes (yeas I'm a freak and I love that smell!) Did find odd shapes like a ruler made out of the stuff, it was really hard and a set square though. I would always put something down or feed out the viv if you can as it is so light, you breath and a bit of it flies off. Only problem and why I switched to Auboise was that local stopped selling and my oldest snake who wheeze with cat hair or doing too much stuff, would sneeze and wheeze on it as it was dusty, rest of my snakes were fine though.
Best thing for stucking up poops to scoop up though! |

| i use it, have done for years now, never had any issues with it. I dont tend to put anything down for them to feed on, never caused any problems, and is part of the reason i use it, if i put something down for each to feed, i would be there forever and a day, its just taken me 2 hours to feed everyone as it is! |

Bugs for one and it seemed quite *****ly if thats the right word.
I hear that megazorb is quite soft, though after ringing round can't find anyone local who sells it
I have found this though http://www.ecobed.co.uk/ any thoughts on this? And i can get this for £5.97 +VAT for 20kg. |

I got springtails in my auboise as well. Still use it, I just change the water everday until I see no more spring tails crawling about. I'd love to use megazorb if I could again but I would have to use a different substrate of the one that wheezes and that's just faffing. It is very soft and light, have you tried ringing places that stock rat/gerbil/hamster stuff and horse places? Big garden places like downtown sell it.
My b/f brother uses ecobed for his rats, its just nicely cut up cardboard bits. |

Hi, I appreciate this is a very old thread but I noticed the post about the bugs in aubiose and thought I'd ask as I've discovered some. Tiny things 1 mm if that with a white almost see through body and darker head and upper body. Are these what you guys had and are they springtails?
Cheers!! |
