Substrate

[Lisa]

We keep one of our corns on cypress mulch (it keeps the humidity up and allows her to burrow), another 2 we're keeping on astroturf but will be switching both to aspen shavings because the normal corn will contrast nicely to our normal corn's colours and will have better humidity then the astroturf.


As for feeding we hold the corns in our hands when feeding... i don't know why but they seem to like eating better out of our hands then in a dish or other container...

I have my corns on cypress mulch which like lisa said is good to keep up the humidity but as soon as I convert mine to rubbermaids they will be on aspen for the following reasons
a) looks fine b) much easiler to spot their mess c) easier to clean d) much cheaper so the whole bedding can be replaced more frequently than other more expensive substrates such as cypress.
For feeding, never feed on any kind of substrate other than paper towel or newspaper unless you are there to make sure nothing ingested but just to be safe don't do it.
