As I wait for Roxy to shed she’s hiding out in her mossy humid hide most all the time. She doesn’t seem like a huge fan of it but I give her a couple sprays of water inside the hide as she endures the process and at the same time I keep her enclosure at least 70% most the day. I use aspen as her substrate but I find between the human hide and spraying the top of her tub really helps maintaining humidity.
The only times I’ve completely replaced her sphagnum moss was the last time she shed considering it looked like it had been in there for a while and when I do a full monthly cage cleaning.
Every time I’ve cleaned the moss I’ve inspected it for any type of fecal matter, urates and check for any foul odors.
At the moment the moss is only used inside her humid rock hide but I was just wondering if I am under or over doing it. New Zealand sphagnum moss seems like a super cool product but I wanna make sure my animal stays healthy while controlling any excessive waste/cost. Opinions?
