Love this stuff
Date: May 4, 2009
"I was contemplating what I should use for my bearded dragon. I really dislike germs, so I was pleased after I tried this for my beardie because it says it has something to minimize bacteria. And on top of that, I also loved how its safe to eat, accidentally of course. So far I haven't had problems with this substrate and would definitely recommend it to others."

Very Safe
Date: March 17, 2009
"We purchased this for our baby bearded dragon, after it was recommended by a store employee. He said it was a lot safer than using sand. It's now been over a month and we're very happy with this product. It's very safe if ingested, the price is reasonable, easy to clean up and our beardie has no problem running all around it in his 50 gallon tank!"

Perfect Bedding fo Bearded Dragon
Date: August 22, 2008
"I used sand at first, until I realized there was a much better product out there. The sand, it they get their feet wet then in the sand, or out of the food, the sand will dry and can cut off circulation in toes and they can loose them. The Alfalfa is great! so easy to clean, looks nice, smells ok. Overall I would never ust another bedding becides the alfalfa pellets."

Wonderful for Bearded Dragon
Date: July 9, 2008
"My local pet store and vet recommended this for my bearded dragon. I've been using it for a few months now and its wonderful. Its easy to clean up after the lizard and its very inexpensive to replace. The best part is it won't hurt my bearded dragon like sand can. And its soft enough that it won't bother their little feet. Highly recommended for the ground cover for your bearded dragon."

Alright
Date: June 22, 2008
"I used this for my turtle and tortoise and overall it's alright. It's a plant based pellet. There's a little dust, but not enough to cause a problem. It's a little hard to get a grip in, so I laid down some cage carpet, then poured the pellets over it. Dry this stuff works great but when it gets wet its a nightmare. It expands, gets all mushy and smelly and rots. So to prevent this, I make sure to clean up under the water dish (where water pools) and around the dish from spills. Overall its an OK bedding, but I would really just save your money and put it towards different bedding like those compressed dirt bricks or forest bedding."
