Solid substrate isn't a lesser choice; it's the correct one for quarantine, for a new arrival you're still monitoring, for an animal recovering from illness, and for any keeper who'd rather remove a variable than manage one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhere solid substrate is genuinely right:\u003c\/strong\u003e quarantine and observation periods, where you need to see every stool and shed clearly.
