I'm ready to set up my little lady with her new house..is it ok to use peat moss as bedding? I'm thinking yes? If she was outside she would be in dirt and leaves ect...
Thanks..I'm using it for her burrow, and have every intention of not allowing it to to dry, ie high humidityAs Griffin stated...I would mix it with something else (top soil works very well). If not, it becomes very dusty as soon as it dries out.
I am the same way....started thinking I would go with a 50/50 mix, but ended up using much more Peat Moss. I liked the texture much better than a ton of topsoil.I have just went to this mixture, however I have a little more Peat Moss than topsoil, and it works great. I am a gardener as well and it is the same basic mixed I use in my raised garden beds. You really do not have any issues with mold. I use a fogger and spray it down good once a day to keep up the humidity.
I was wondering could I do the same thing with my raised garden bed and add giant earth worms to the mixture?By doing so will enrich the soil and give BOGA something to hunt for...
I have come to the realization that there is no substrate that does not have bugs in it. I have used mulch, topsoil, peat moss, as well as pre-packaged substrates meant for reptiles. I always ended up with small bugs. I had topsoil bags frozen, outside all winter.....didn't matter lol.Does anyone know about Repti Prime (old Midwest Organics) coconut husk? My husband is concerned about nats and other bugs.
