#1719250 Judylynn22 View Profile	MissAnne Hi I was looking through your pictures and noticed your subtrate.. What type of subtrate is that? My new tank will be coming in in May and I really wanted to do a seed bottom, I heard it was not good for them though?

#1719625 MissAnne2u View Profile	Message To: Judylynn22   In reference to Message Id: 1719250  MissAnne Hey there .... Its White Millet Seed .... I got it from a local Feed & Seed. Had to special order it in a 50# bag (Only $18.00). There are a couple of cons to using it: 1. They eat it and may not eat their greens 2. Its hard to find a sifting shovel that is big enough for the millet but small enough to let the droppings through I’m actually considering moving the little ones to washed play sand as their fecals are about 1/3 millet so that tells me they are eating alot of it.

I will be going to washed play sand soon as well. Also make sure the millet is not too deep, only allow it to cover the bottom of the cage and thats about it, maybe put it deeper in the tight hides so they can burrow a little in it.
