Where do I get sphagnum peat moss? I want to put it around the enclosure and in the hide but I don't know where to get it... online? What online store? Thanks!

You can get it at Home Depot or a local pet store .

Amazon may have it same with eBay or you can go to Home Depot. My local garden store has it. If you live in the U.K. It may be difficult to find because I am almost certain it is illegal to sell it.

Home Depot, Lowe's, Orchard Supply in the garden department. Also, most plant nurseries will carry it. And I have also seen it at Michael's, the art supply place since it is used for crafts.

OK thanks, so I don't need to buy it offline. One question... do the torts ever eat it? Like not as a food source but if they thought it looked good and started taking bites out of it, would it harm them?

I have read that they might but generally it seems to not be tasty and once they sample it, they leave it alone. If they do eat a bit, I do not think it will hurt them. It will digest and come out later. Should not be a worry.

Ok thank you!
