    Outside enclosure

    Moss taking over grass is often a sign of acidic soil. Take some soil samples, and maybe add some lime. Poorly drained soils are also prone to moss. Aerating will help. Most lawn moss killers use iron sulfate as an active ingredient, but it can lower the pH. I would reccomend aerating and...

    Won't go to bed on his own
