Reddit reviews Exo Terra Forest Plume Moss, 7 Quarts, 2-Pack

I have used EcoEarth before in my rats' digging box, but my issue is that it is SO wet after you mix it up. I tried drying it in the oven but it took all day and still was pretty wet. Should it be more dry before you put them in? Not sure if you are using the compressed/dried blocks or the premixed bags (which of course are pricier).

For the terrarium moss, is it something like this? Also, how often do you have to change the whole thing out?

I am interested in trying it, because the rats' digging box never smelled bad even though they were in it a lot. But I want to make sure I don't set up the tank to be too wet and get the little meeces sick.

Your best bet is to hit your local pet store and look at the aquarium and terrarium section. The reptile and aquarium sections have sand of varying levels of coarsness/fineness. (reptile's generally use very fine grade sand which works great as sand for that scale as the coarse ones used for aquariums can cause issues with blockages when ingested by lizards) .

Exo Terra terrarium soil is also pretty good to use for soil.

Terrarium Moss is great for doing shrubs and folliage.
