HI ALL, I HAVE BEEN SO EXCITED SINCE GERTIE'S EGGS HATCHED.THEY ARE BOTH DOING REALLY WELL AND I AM SO LUCKY BECAUSE I THINK THEY ARE A BOY AND A GIRL !! I HAVE NOT GIVEN THEM NAMES YET ;I THINK I AM STILL IN SHOCK. ANYWAY,I HAVE BEEN SORTING OUT THEIR HOUSING AND WAS GOING TO PUT SOME SOIL IN AS I USUALLY DO WHEN I FOUND SOMETHING NEW WHILST OUT SHOPPING. I FOUND SOMETHING CALLED "ECO CARPET" BY "ZOO MED.".IT IS MADE FROM RECYCLED PLASTIC BOTTLES !! IT COMES IN BROWN OR GREEN AND YOU GET 2 PIECES 13"/48" WHICH FITS REALLY NICELY.IT IS ABSORBENT AND MOST IMPORTANTLY IT IS WASHABLE!! I FITTED IT ACOUPLE OF DAYS AGO AND THEY LOVE IT..I PUT THE TRIMMED PIECES AROUND THE BOTTOM OF THE WATER DISH .I BOUGHT BOTH GREEN (GRASS)AND BROWN(SOIL) AND THEY ARE BOTH GREAT COLOURS.THE ONLY THING I HAVE DONE BECAUSE OF THE HATCHLINGS LITTLE NAILS IS USE THE SLIGHTLY FLATTER SOFT SHEEN SIDE. THEY DID CATCH THEIR NAILS EVERY NOW AND AGAIN ON THE OTHER SIDE ;THE GRAIN IS A LITTLE ROUGHER. THE BEST WAY TO DESCRIBE IT IS IT LOOKS LIKE THICK FELT..I REALLY LIKE IT AND IT MAKES CLEANING THE HOUSING SO EASY; ALL YOU DO IS SOAK IT FOR A WHILE THEN RINSE ,WRING IT OUT BY HAND AND AIR DRY. I AM GONG TO PUT IN THE MACHINE ON A COLD QUICK WASH WITH 1000 SPIN SPEED !!! I WILL LET YOU KNOW HOW IT GOES.. SO, IF YOU WANT SOMETHING DIFFERENT THEN GIVE IT A GO..
