If it's an adult, you can put the orchid or fir bark over top the coir. In my opinion, this gives the best of both worlds. And, don't forget to hand pack it lol

@Tom @Yvonne G @Markw84 One or all should be able to help

@ZEROPILOT can help for a proper size enclosure. I would cover the enclosure with fencing so the dog can't get into it. As for flooding, either bring him inside when it rains or make the enclosure higher than the yard Misters or sprinklers would be a better way to get the humidity up. Set them...

OMG, soon you need to listen to wifey. Suppose to be look don't touch, specially when it's a dangerous one. Thanks for the share and be careful!

So sorry. Yes, give us all the details.
