Coco peat seems to be the universal go-to product when substrate for a wide range of small animals is needed though, either straight or mixed with another substrate. Personally I add sand at the rate of one sand to six Coco peat, I just feel it has a better structure than straight peat.I made a thread on substrate choice, I'll bump it up so you can see what various members use, I can't paste the link using my phone.</blockquote>
