Just switched from Exo-terra's coconut husk to ZooMed's Eco earth as my substrate and Oogway won't stop eating it... Any ideas? Thanks in advanced guys :)

Is there plenty of other food available when he does this?

Are you using coloured lamps?

Yes, I always have food available and no, I don't use any colored lamps... I just switched it this morning... The stuff I was using before was chunkier, this stuff is like potting soil... I'm thinking maybe because it's fluffier? I don't know lol... I just don't want him getting impacted, can this stuff cause an impaction?

My Star hatchlings are still on wet paper towels.

I've never used paper towels... Are they better to use when they're smaller?
