Aubiose

Herpard · 11-01-2012, 10:56 AM

Anyone else use this with their leo's?

Going to be putting some in with mine today but the last time I used it squirty was tiny!

And Please don't tell me how bad it is for tortoises as I posted a topic a while ago about my male Hermanns getting hurt on redigrass and noone seemed to care.

i used to keep leopards... and I used aubios all the time.
my leopards seem to like it! i used to make it quite deep so they could burrow down. I did chop and change though, one month would be aubios, then half aubios and the other side of the table soil, or all soil.
I never had any issues with it.
its easy to see poo's aswell for your daily spot cleaning

the only issue ive had recently was with my two spur thigh torts, one got a bit fruity and started getting his you know what out!
and aubios did get stuck up there and i had to bath him for about 20 mins to get him cleaned and safe.

Thank you,

That's what happened to my male Hermanns with redigrass took ages to get it all off :-/

I put plenty in for squirty and she seems to remember the stuff, spent ages making a nest in it too lol

yeh I can imagine that actually, i've not really taken to redigrass, I always imagine them poking themselves in the eyes with sharp stuff like that.
ah im please Squirty likes it

it must be quite warm and cosy for her

All 3 of mine did get the stuff in their eyes.

I had to get some eye wash out of a medi kit to wash it out of squirts!!

She did quite a large poop this morning, I can normally tell as soon as she does one but I couldn't today, I didn't even know she had till she moved lol

Do you use aubiose in your chicken run/coop too?
I've read it comes well-recommended.

Hi Emma,
