Cool substrate or no substrate,newspaper looks horrid ahh i know

hi all had this problem for a while now but think ive solved it.

ok substrate looks good, nice and natural. but.... its a pain when it comes to feeding, if your not using a feeding box plus you got the added problem of does it contain mites, (i have had this drama, damm things. cheers frontline lol)

news paper looks crap but.. no problems with any of the above you just chuck it away, and replace.

reptile carpet stuff, looks good........ no problems when feeding, mites or cleaning just chuck it away, one problem mine its bloody expensive.

PROBLEM SOLVED LOL

been down to carpet right got enough green carpet to lay down the whole of the house downstairs lol cost me £30 it gonna last ages and it looks brill, clean and tidy.

just one thing DOES ANYBODY KNOW IF DYSON MADE TINY HOOVERS FIGURED THEY COULD HOOVER UP AFTER THEMSELVES. LOL

I have just got some lino (vinyl) with a slate pattern and one with a small stones pattern. Free off cut from my local friendly carpet place. Just pull it out, quick wash in the bath. Job is a good 'un.

Reptile carpet was meant to be washed not thrown...

I just use kitchen towel. I used to think it looks , but its grown on me now, and like you said, its soo easy when it comes to cleaning!

I do like the idea of something that looks better tho, especially for my older 2. Might have to pop down to carpet right!

i went on Amazon last year and got my mums OH a tabletop hoover for crumbs in the shape of a dump truck - but they did other styles too, see if you can get one of them as a permanent fixture in your viv!! it'll look cute, and be functional!!!
