Hi, I came across this moss and wondered if it would be good to put in my baby Eastern Hermann's humid hide. My only concern would be him eating it. Has anyone tried this kind?
Thanks :):tort:

My favorite ones to work with are "sheet moss", ImageUploadedByTortoise Forum1490564993.225390.jpg or "frog moss" which looks like this ImageUploadedByTortoise Forum1490565019.777525.jpg or "mood moss" type things like theseImageUploadedByTortoise Forum1490565087.322883.jpg or like thisImageUploadedByTortoise Forum1490565103.072519.jpg or like thisImageUploadedByTortoise Forum1490565126.859256.jpg the point is for me to find the kind that's attached to the floor and harvested with the top layer of the surface it was growing inImageUploadedByTortoise Forum1490565208.955192.jpg

I use ZooMed sphagnum moss. I really like it. I just soak it in warm water to re-hydrate it. It is very fluffy and does not contain sticks and twigs like the kind that I bought from Home Depot. I order mine from Petmountain.com.

Thanks, this moss gave me so many splinters as soon as I opened it up... This has not convinced me. I will not be using it.
Thanks for the recommendation!;)
