So, as you may have seen in previous posts of mine, i am redoing my bearded dragons enclosure because I personally do not like the reptile carpet at all!
So before you guys start being rude in the comments and bashing me, I will not be using sand in all of the enclosure, probably only in one section. I find that the comments on the beardie eating sand/bedding, are a little dramatic considering that many other animals live on that type of bedding all the time. Also, bearded dragons are intelligent and I don't think they will just eat something cause they are bored.
Now, I am not going to use shelf lining or tile, because it is not at all natural to them, and it is slippery and in my eyes it is not correct to put a beardie on a surface like that.
I want to have maybe mulch in his enclosure, or some other bedding like that. I was also thinking maybe putting large rocks in his enclosure for his basking area. What bedding would you recommend or any other ideas for a substrate?
Thank you!
