Hello!
Apollo is about 9 months old, apx 5.2cm long, and has been on 100% coco coir since I got him. He LOVES burrowing into it when he goes to sleep for the night.
I'm thinking of mixing in something else that's not quite so messy, and possibly switching over completely eventually. The most common recommendation I see is cypress mulch - would this one work well to mix with the coco coir and eventually use on its own?

Possible concerns I recall reading about before I first got him were that the more uneven surface could put more stress on a baby's legs when walking around rather than a smooth surface of coco coir, and also risk of them trying to eat the substrate since it's more separated pieces.
Are these valid concerns, or should the cypress mulch in the link above be OK?
Thank you in advance!
