I usually use Megazorb in most of my cages and have found it to be pretty soft, holds up to tunnels well and I can usually go a lot longer on clean outs than I used to be able to go on more paper based substrates. Some people have found it to be dusty but in all the time I've been using it I've only ever had one bag that was a little dusty and I had the same when I used to use Fitch anyway. I don't use Fitch any more due to a number of issues that mainly concern price, quality and availability.

I use wood shavings in my diabetics cages as they need clean outs every couple of days and have found a supplier of decent quality shavings at a really good price. I also keep a supply of Kaytee Clean and Cozy for use in hospital, maternity and nursery cages and it's a nice substrate. It's one I'd recommend as an alternative to Fitch if ever you couldn't get hold of it.
