Eating moss HELP

[Angi]

I think my CDTs are eating the moss in the humid hide.
Does anyone know why they would do this?
Is it bad?
Should I take it out? What should I use instead?

Hi Angi:

I don't know about eating moss, but I have found it helpful when a tortoise eats their substrate, to use Sticky Tongue Farms - Miner-all instead of calcium on their food for a week or so.

I don't know if its the same issue when they eat the moss, but it won't hurt anything to give it a try.

I'm in pleasant Georgia where I have nothing but moss on my 'lawn' my aldabs eat this because it is the only green thing in the yard. I figure if it went in it cam come out... Did you notice the comment about the coconut husk mulch?

Didn't see the post about coconut mulch.

Different forum... sorry.

Coconut husk mulch is a great substrate in that it really holds moisture and doesn't mould.

It is sold in compressed bricks.
