[QUOTE="Staygold, post: 1953807, member: 109751"] Hi, my bearded dragon glass surfs a lot and I'm planning on putting a dig box in there to see if it helps. But my research has left me with a few questions. First, how big should the Dig box be if she is 18 in Long? Second, does the dig box go on the hot or cool side? Third, Which substrate is the best? Below I have listed the options I have come across or think might work. I have not listed the ones that I am not willing to use because I don't think they are good, such as ground Walnut shells, sand Etc. And I I'm wondering if anybody else has used any, and had any problems with it, or any suggestions. 1. Flaxseed: is it toxic to them? Can it cause impaction? What kind of flaxseed? I have seen pictures with a lighter flaxseed, but in real life I have only seen darker flax seeds. Hence the question for cool spot or hot side cuz I think the darker seed would get a lot warmer than the lighter ones I have seen online. 2. Soft blanket: how small of pieces and does it really act like a dig box or just a fluffy bed. 3. Bird feed: would it cause impaction? Is it toxic? Too Dusty? What if I wipe it off with a towel to get rid of the Dust. 4. Millet: is it digestible? Dusty? Cause impaction? 5. Alfalfa pellets: is it digestible? Cause impaction? Dusty? 6. Dried vegetables: would they choke on them being dry? Dusty? 7. Rice: is it digestible? Would it cause impaction? Toxic? 8. Quinoa: is it digestible? Toxic? Would it cause impaction? 9. Barley: toxic? Digestible? Would it cause impaction? 10. Dirt: toxic? Too Dusty if it dries out? Raise humidity too much if it's moist? Any help, input or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I would prefer something that can't cause her eye or nose problems. Nothing toxic obviously. And no chance or very very very small chance of impaction. Thank you for any help. [/QUOTE]
