Glad she's settling in now. She looks happy.

The only popcornlike textured substrate i can think of is Carefresh but it's still soft.

Kaytee clean and cozy white is very soft and tissuelike. I prefer the more papery natural but can't get it just now.

I think that there are suitable, paperbased substrates available in the US but i can't remember the name of it.
You could have a look under Housing and there may be threads on different substrates.

I've never tried Aspen. It's expensive over here and i have a lot of hamsters so stick to Kaytee clean and cozy 85l bags. I'm not sure if i'd want to use Aspen as the entire substrate either. The Kaytee doubles as nesting material but they still like their mountain of plain toilet paper strips.
