I personally didn't like aspen when I used it... Even with the bigger shavings. Neither Daffy or George had had a problem shedding before I put aspen in. I think I liked the coco husk best. I bought bricks of it and just broke it apart dry. You can mist it down and it dries out nicely, It doesn't mold, It lasts long, Pretty easy to spot clean. You could 'wash' it too... Pot of hot water, mixed around, then rinsed n set out to dry off. I washed mine a time or two and never got to the second brick I bought. I just put paper towels in while it dries.

Awesome to here you had a productive day! I'm SO jealous you are getting some famous Ranch Radixes!
