My 2 little guys ( aged 2 & 3 months ) are on paper towels . I wondered
what people like to use as a substrate and at what age do you think it's ok to change them on to a substrate ?

I think I must do the opposite to most, I keep my hatchlings on compacted damp peat for 8 weeks them move them on to newspaper.

I keep them on paper towel (kitchen roll) until they are around 6 months old. Then I switched to coco-fibre. The opposite to Scott...lol.
