Sphagnum moss - safe if eaten

Herpard · 21-06-2011, 04:08 PM

Hi all,

We have quite a bit of the stuff and was wondering if it's safe if the tortoises eat any?

Thanks in advance

It should be just fine

I'd only worry about hatchlings eating to much of it and getting impacted.

I've used garden moss with no problems. It's amazing stuff. No matter how long it is dried, when you add water its green fresh and damp again.
