Hey guys I rehomed my balfouri and used Biodude substrate and now shes staying on the walls of the enclosure. The substrate is dry and fresh. Should I change it to coco fiber? Thanks!

Yeah man its nice and firm. Ive been using the biodude for all my enclosure (bioactive and non bioactive) and havent had any issues. Compacts nice and holds tunnels. Not sure why my Balfouri wont touch it.

Cool. Then leave it be. Probably just selling in.
