As im sure many of you have seen Alfalfa pellets are used in lots of pet stores but im wondering if a leo would do well on it. I have my Uro on them now and he can eat them and pass them successfully. I want something he can dig in. Let me know if you know anything about it. Thank you in advance.

Uros eat plant matter and are much bigger than leopard geckos. Any ingestion of alfalfa pellets will be accidental and with the smaller digestive tract of the leopard gecko, I would't recommend it.

Also, Leos have fairly delicate skin compared to other reptiles and a lot of the pelleted beddings can be "sharp". I know when I used the compressed pine for my rats, after a while they got sores on their feet from walking in it. I had to go back to softer bedding. I would worry it would be uncomfortable for them to walk on.
