Default BD substrate

hello, i have a 3-5 month old Beardie, and was wondering wether i could put some hardwood chippings as his substrate? He gets fed by hand so has no chance of eating any.

Thanks, Tom.

Well I cant really see the prob if you are hand feeding him! Just make sure they arent pine or cedar shavings

Its likely to be Beech chippings, which i use with my BD's when they reach 12-18 months. at 3 months, its a bit tricky with them still having a tendency to be bad aims when it comes to feeding, but if youre hand feeding, you should be fine. I tried them on carpet for a while but most of them really hated it so i went back to beech.

Isn't there a danger of beardies nibbling and possibly swallowing the substrate even if they are being fed outside the viv?
