Substrate Change

[towelie200]

hey everyone! What's the best substrate for Russians? I'm using plantation soil with coco fiber now, is there a better combo?

I plantation soil coco-husk?

Are you having trouble with this combo? Why do you want to change? It sounds like a pretty good mix.

I was just asking if there was a better combo or not. my little guy likes to burrow in it. just like to hear the options!

There's a good discussion of substrate options going on on another thread. Have you seen it? Its located here: Substrate Ideas Towards Perfect Mix

Lots of follks on this forum use coco-coir for their Russians because its so good for burrowing, but other options such as cypress mulch and organic topsoil are discussed in the above thread.
