I'd also be very interested in knowing more about this mix. I've only used vermiculite, because it seems to be the medium that everyone recommends. But the thought has been nagging me for ages, that this isn't a natural medium. The critters seem to do just dandy in the wild, so why wouldn't a more natural medium work as well for them in captivity?

Please share your formula with the rest of us, and let others give it a try, too.
