Not all sizes are available at every store, but according to Zoo Med, sizes it makes are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1 quart<\/li>\n<li>4 quarts<\/li>\n<li>8 quarts<\/li>\n<li>24 quarts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Unless you&#8217;re mixing the Forest Floor with another substrate, you&#8217;ll want the larger size to make sure you give your box turtle a deep enough layer that she can burrow.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\"><a href=\"#top\">(Back to Top)<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"easy\">Ease of Use\/How to Use<\/h2>\n<p>Forest Floor is ready to use straight out of the bag. Just pour it into your pet&#8217;s pen. It&#8217;s not dusty, so you don&#8217;t need to worry about it getting all over everything. You&#8217;ll want a depth that&#8217;s about 1-1\/2 times the height of your tallest turtle.<br \/>\nMaintenance is simple, too:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Mist it as needed to keep the humidity high.<\/li>\n<li>Spot clean it as needed (whenever you see waste material)<\/li>\n<li>Do a complete change at least twice a year. Of course, if the cage smells even after spot-cleaning, change it sooner than scheduled.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Zoo Med recommends using Forest Floor with Eco Earth and ReptiSand or ReptiFresh. You may need to experiment a little to see what works best for you and your pet.<\/p>\n<p>Many reviewers found this material easy to use, easy to clean and good at holding humidity. At least one reviewer felt it was much easier to clean than coconut-based bedding <a title=\"Zoo Med Eco Earth Bedding Review\" href=\"http:\/\/www.boxturtleworld.com\/reptilesupplies\/zoo-med-eco-earth-bedding-review\/\">(Eco Earth<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Others felt that Forest Floor didn&#8217;t hold moisture as well as other substrates, like coconut fiber. If you find the same problem but prefer the look of cypress over coconut, one option might be to layer Forest Floor on top of Eco Earth.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\"><a href=\"#top\">(Back to Top)<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"safe\">Is Cypress Mulch Safe for Box Turtles?<\/h2>\n<p>Wood chips are a good choice for box turtle bedding, but not all wood if safe for them. Some wood, like cedar and pine, contain oils that can irritate and even kill box turtles.<\/p>\n<p>Cypress (which is what Forest Floor is) does not contain anything harmful to your turtle. But it&#8217;s not completely safe to eat.<\/p>\n<p>At least one reviewer felt that the smaller pieces can get into your pet&#8217;s eyes and mouth too easily. But since many box turtle species live in wooded areas, they&#8217;re not likely to mind too much. And swallowing a few tiny pieces stuck to her mouth is not the same as eating large quantities. Accidentally eating a little once in a while is unlikely to hurt her (although there are never any guarantees, just odds). Just make sure she&#8217;s not eating too much, either deliberately or accidentally.<\/p>\n<p>Many box turtle&#8217;s are messy eaters, so you may want to feed them in a different enclosure, or keep one end of the habitat free of Forest Floor. If your pet is deliberately eating the bark, you may need to evaluate his diet. It could be deficient in some nutrients.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\"><a href=\"#top\">(Back to Top)<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"summary\">Forest Floor Pros &amp; Cons Summary<\/h2>\n<div style=\"float: left; text-align: center; width: 310px; height: 200px; margin-right: 25px; margin-bottom: 160px;\">\n\t<div class=\"big_block_bottom tw-bs\">\n\t\n\t\t<div class=\"inner_big single_off_descr ov_hidden\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"data_title\">Forest Floor<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.boxturtleworld.com\/reptilesupplies\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/ZM-Bed-ForestFloor-IWT.jpg?w=625\" class=\"bottom_img1\" \/>\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<style>\n\t\t.single_off_descr{\n\t\t\ttext-align:center;\n\t\t\tpadding-top:20px;\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t}\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"link_block\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"green_button w_100\">I WANT IT!<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"links_block\"><div class=\"single_link\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/1oG9Cvs\">Amazon.com<\/a><\/div><div class=\"single_link\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2ufgGKl\">Amazon.co.uk<\/a><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n\t<style>\n\t.links_block{\n\t\tdisplay:none;\n\t\tposition: absolute;\n\t\twidth: 100%;\r\n\t}\n\t.link_block:hover > .links_block{\n\t\tdisplay:block;\t\t\r\n\t}\n\t.link_block:hover > .green_button{\n\t\tdisplay:none1;\t\t\n\t}\n\t.links_block:hover{\n\t\tdisplay:block;\r\n\t}\n\t\n\t\n\t.big_block_bottom{\n\t\tmargin:20px 0px;\n\t\tbackground: #D2F2AB;\n\t\tborder: 1px solid #025207;\r\n\t}\n\t.big_block_bottom .ov_hidden{\n\t\toverflow:hidden;\t\n\t\t\r\n\t}\n\t.big_block_bottom .inner_big > .bottom_img{\n\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\tmargin: 1%;\r\n\t}\n\t.big_block_bottom .inner_big  .bottom_img  + .content_block{\n\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\twidth: 61%;\n\t\tmargin: 1% 2%;\n\t}\n\t.big_block_bottom .inner_big  .data_title{\n\t\tfont-family: \"Oswald\", sans-serif;\n\t\tcolor: #E39610 ;\n\t\tfont-weight: bold;\n\t\ttext-transform: uppercase;\n\t\tfont-size: 30px;\n\t\tmargin: 0px 0 10px 0;\n\t\tline-height: 30px;\t\r\n\t}\n\t.big_block_bottom .inner_big  .data_descr{\n\t\tfont-size: 16px;\n\t\tline-height: 22px;\t\n\t}\n\t.big_block_bottom  .link_block{\n\t\twidth: 40%;\n\t\tmargin: 20px auto;\n\t\theight: 30px;\n\t\tposition: relative;\r\n\t}\n\t.big_block_bottom  .link_block .single_link{\n\t\ttext-decoration: none;\n\t\tcolor: white;\n\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\tdisplay: block;\n\t\t-webkit-transition: 0.2s;\n\t\ttransition: 0.2s;\n\t\tpadding: 5px;\n\t\tborder-bottom: 1px solid #111;\n\t\tbackground: #222;\n\t\tfont-size: 18px;\r\n\t}\n\t.big_block_bottom  .link_block .single_link:hover{\n\t\tbackground:#454444;\n\t\t\r\n\t}\n\t.big_block_bottom  .link_block .single_link a, .big_block_bottom  .link_block .single_link a:visited, .big_block_bottom  .link_block .single_link a:hover{\n\t\tcolor:#fff;\n\t\ttext-decoration:none;\n\t\t\r\n\t}\n\t.big_block_bottom  .w_100{\n\t\twidth:100%;\r\n\t}\n\t.green_button{\n\t\tbackground: green;\n\t\tbackground: url(https:\/\/www.boxturtleworld.com\/reptilesupplies\/wp-content\/plugins\/i-want-this\/modules\/images\/i-want-this-button-arrow.png) 89% center no-repeat, -webkit-radial-gradient(center, circle, #137817, #137817);\n\t\tbackground: url(https:\/\/www.boxturtleworld.com\/reptilesupplies\/wp-content\/plugins\/i-want-this\/modules\/images\/i-want-this-button-arrow.png) 89% center no-repeat, radial-gradient(circle at center, #137817, #137817);\n\t\t\/* box-shadow: inset 0 2px 0 #9ec823; *\/\n\t\t\/* border: 1px solid #6faf18; *\/\n\t\tdisplay: block;\n\t\tcolor: white;\n\t\ttext-transform: uppercase;\n\t\ttext-decoration: none;\n\t\t\/* border-radius: 5px; *\/\n\t\tpadding: 5px 0px;\n\t\tfont-size: 20px;\n\t\tline-height: 26px;\n\t\ttext-shadow: 0 -1px 0 rgba(6, 6, 6, 0.14);\n\t\tposition: relative;\n\t\tz-index: 10;\n\t\tfont-family: \"Oswald\", sans-serif;\n\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\tcursor: pointer;\n\r\n\t}\n\t<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n<p>The reviews of Forest Floor are somewhat mixed, especially about how well it holds humidity.
