Looking through info on the best substrates, I'm going with shaved aspen, but with that it recommends to feed in a "different area"... could that be an area of floor tile (like the kind recommended for bearded dragons, ceramic with a surface that isn't slick) in the same terrarium? I am guessing the best spot would be on the end opposite the heating pad.... does this sound like a good idea, and if not, do they mean to feed in a totally different (bare) tank/plastic tub?
