Smile Leopard tort bedding

Hi all! I'm new here but I'm so glad I've found this site! SO much useful info!

OK, so I have a 3 year old leopard, he's fantastic but a fussy one! I was just wondering what sort of bedding to keep him on really, I've read so many different things so I really have no idea now. He lives inside mainly at the moment as he was sick when he was younger so is quite small for his age but he does spend the days outside now during this bout of warm weather and seems to enjoy this alot!

if anyone could offer advice on the best sort of bedding or even the best combination of bedding to keep him on inside that would be ace!

Thank you!

We use Readigrass (chopped dried grass) for our Leopards, they love to snuggle down and its edible too! We buy the huge Bale bags from the Horsefeed store at the stables, but they would probably be too big for you, I know Sarah sells smaller bags in the Shelled Warriors Shop.
