2009年7月9日 · Sphagnum is very acidic and accustomed to growing in very wet places so I have to believe that it is very mold resistant. Just about anything organic whether it be moss, mulch, soil, etc... can and will harbor mold, fungus, various bacterias and more not kept relatively free of wastes and if kept damp enough, long enough without proper airflow ...

2016年6月27日 · Sphagnum moss is the most prominent type in tortoises enclosures. I see that moss in my garden but I have never used it in the tortoise cage. Until some more experienced member replies, I would stick with Sphagnum moss for now.

2016年7月19日 · I say yes, as long as it non-colored, organic and not the stuff used for flower decorations it's fine to use. As a matter of fact, I use moistened sphagnum moss for my hide boxes for my young tortoises. If it's eaten some I don't worry because it passes through them no problem,(organic). Just keep it well fed and it should be no problem.

2013年1月23日 · From my understanding concerning sphagnum moss acidity is that this acidity actually prevents the growth of mold.

2016年4月7日 · Moss! Definitely moss for the indoor enclosure works great for my babies. Only I've never use the stringy sphagnum moss. My choice is Frog Moss (fat clumps of soft pillowy moss) or sheet moss (in flat sheets shallowly dug out from where they grow) some seeds will sprout in the moss for my babies' munching pleasure. Now I only have 40 gal ...

2015年8月28日 · Hi, I am interested in trying some sphagnum moss in my baby Hermann's hide as I've heard great things about it. I ordered the Spag-Moss brand from New Zealand that was recommended for this purpose and broke of a small square to let soak. Well, as promised, it expanded almost 20 times its size...

2013年11月3日 · Living in Southern California, of course humidity is a challenge. We have a humidifier and a controller that keeps the humidity at a reasonable level - but the Sphagnum Moss (with a layer of shredded...
