How much is enough?!
Hey everybody  I was wondering if anyone had any idea, possibly a rule of thumb, as to how much bedding I would need to cover a 4' wide by 18" deep enclosure? It's not for a burrowing herp, so no need for extra depth. I'm gonna be ordering up some mulch online and I have no idea how many quarts/cubic feet to get! Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks all  |

4' by 1.5' is like 6' square feet. To determine cubic feet, figure out how deep you want it. Cubic feet is length x height x width, or just your sqaure feet x height. You have 6 sqaure feet. So one inch deep would be 6' x .083 (one inch, in terms of feet) or a total of a half cubic foot. I hope you're as confused as me.

Why are you ordering it online when you can go to a home goods store and buy it for around 3 bucks a bag?

Haha, thanks for your info, but I was an english major!! Numbers mean nothing to me!! In all seriousness, one cubic foot would stock me well, and set me up for a total replacement, correct? I'm fine with buying more, like everyone stated, but I just wanna visualize how much I'm actually purchasing and filling up. Thanks everybody

One cubic foot should do you just fine, but I'd probably be safe and order a little more. You never know how well it wil unpack and end up being, and you may need it a little deeper if you have a UTH or something. I'd be safe the first go round and get 2 or even 3 cubic feet. |
