| I use Orchid Bark at home, but dry it out first so humidity doesn't go sky high. |

| I would say that Orchid Bark is the one substrate I would not feed on. |

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.

Can you embelish on the reasons for this BE? |

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

| 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. |
