I feed in a RUB, so then there's no probs with compaction. I moved the picky eaters at work onto aubiose(like aspen) though as it's cheaper and it means I can leave the rat over night. |

They are large hard lumps that cannot be digested, if swallowed then are much more likely to cause impaction than something like Aspen. |

Agreed! Didn't realise how high the humidity was so when we first got the haating set up (mat under substrate) the entire inside of the viv was steamed up like that sex scene from Titanic.
