Hi

Bit of a strange question but do you know which supermarkets sell unbleached kitchen roll? Cant seem to find any info on the packs as to which ones are unbleached. I guess any with a design are going to be bleached and presumably recycled stuff would be too?

Going to use it as a damp substrate for froglets

It may be fine for royals Lynne but frogs have porous skin Wink

I use these for froglets and QT housing

ordered some of that - shame none of the supermarkets seem to stock it or put on their packaging if its bleached or not......do you think I could use a damp piece of cotton material or something in the meantime as a layer?

i used normal bounty kitchen roll for my firebelly toads.
i had no idea if it was or wasnt bleached to be honest and they were fine .
if you had a more delicate frog then you may no want to risk using it tho
