    I know peat moss is the ethical evil of evils...

I find it to have better odor control and absorbancy than ANYTHING else I have ever used for anything........mice are big waste producers, even when not crowded...and I've tried carefresh, pelleted bedding...

    I think I know now what it is if it comes in a brick....is it sometimes sold as a natural digestable substrate for reptiles?

    I know peat moss is the ethical evil of evils...

    I wonder if you could use coir instead. It's totally renewable, super cheap, and has many of the same qualities as peat moss--absorbent, light weight, etc. It's basically the shredded up hair from coconuts, and a lot of nurseries and hardware stores sell it. This stuff sounds cool...could...

    MY BABY IS CHOKING? BUBBLES FROM MOUTH HELP QUICK!

    Sounds like she got "water-logged". Feel of her crop and see if it is large and round and fluid filled. If she drank too much too quickly, this can happen very easily. Bubbles from the throat is a sheer sign of this, as the water is trying to come back up the throat from the crop and it coats...
