You can get natural dirt from a place like lowes but you will need to bake it. The best thing to do is to purchase coconut fiber bedding in brick form. Its already been baked to kill bacteria and parasites.

Coconut is the cheapest and is really safe,,,it is about 2$ for a block and the block expands into 9 quarts i think
