I've just been reading about this stuff over on the dark side, has anyone tried it? It's horse bedding made from hemp, it's much cheaper than aspen and it sounds like people have had good results with it.

There's a farm shop near me, I'm thinking of giving it a go.

She's just had new substrate yesterday, so it'll be a couple of weeks but I'll have a look at the farm shop and see if they have any. I've got some beech left so I may hang onto it in case the Aubiose doesn't work out.

I don't know if it can be baked, but I can't see any reason why not unless it's unsually flammable.

There's another thread about it here:

I'll avoid the hemcore, apparently it's quite sharp and is treated with citronella so it sounds like it's not suitable.
