The difference I am told with the Wild Crystal product is that it doesn't contain marble which is what cause impaction.
If I had a dollar for every safe, digestible substrate that is claimed to "not cause impaction" but then just goes off and does it anyway, I wouldn't have to work. The seller has very carefully worded that section. It does not say it will not cause impaction under the conditions under which impaction often occurs (poor feeding, hunger, dehydration, pica's, parasite infections etc. ). It clearly states that it should not cause impaction under "normal conditions" - a safe word to use. As with any 'digestible' substrate it all a matter of quantity vs ability to digest vs. size of animal vs. health of animal. Stuff up one of these and even fairy floss can cause impactions.
